John Legend - Preach

Il testo

TEveryday I wake and everything is broken 
Turning off my phone just to get out of bed 
Get home every evening and history's repeating 
Turning off my phone 'cause it's hurting my chest 
Hey-hey 

And Heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah 
But what can I do? 
I can't see the use of me crying 
If I'm not even tryna to make the change
I wanna see 

I can't sit and hope 
I can't just sit and pray that 
I can find a love when all I see is pain 
I'm falling to my knees 
And though I do believe 
I can just preach, baby, preach 
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh 
I can just preach, baby, preach 

All I hear is voices, everybody's talking 
Nothing real is happening 
'Cause nothing is new 
Now in all this tragic, and I just feel sedated 
Why do I feel numb? 
Is that all I can do? Yeah 

And Heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah 
But I'm only human
I can't see the use of me crying 
If I'm not even tryna to make the change 
I wanna see 

I can't sit and hope 
I can't just sit and pray that 
I can find a love when all I see is pain 
I'm falling to my knees 
And though I do believe 
I can just preach, baby, preach 
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh 
I can just preach, baby, preach 

And Heaven knows I'm not helpless 
But what can I do? Yeah 
I can't see the use of me crying 
If I'm not even tryna to make the change 
I wanna see 

I can't sit and hope 
I can't just sit and pray that 
I can find a love when all I see is pain 
I try to do the things that save it, I believe (I do believe) 
I can just preach, baby, preach 
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh 
I can just preach, baby, preach 
Wo-oah-oah-oah-oah, oh-oh-oh 
I can just preach, baby, preach 

I'm falling to my knees 
And though I do believe 
I can just preach, baby, preach
