OneRepublic - Preacher

[00:28.00] When I was a kid
[00:30.37] I used to buy and sell gravity
[00:34.55] I knew how to fly
[00:37.02] And I could teach you for a fee
[00:42.00] Broke every window in my hotel heart
[00:48.75] When I was only 5 years old
[00:51.21] The 12 years scarred
[00:55.47] And I'd hear the same voice
[00:58.01] Echo in my mind
[01:02.36] Said 'son you got an angel, to chase the devil at the night'
[01:09.28] When I was a kid
[01:11.49] My grandfather was a preacher
[01:15.97] He'd talk about God
[01:18.10] Yeah he was something like a teacher
[01:22.63] He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
[01:28.61] He was a million miles from a million dollars
[01:32.31] But you could never spend his wealth
[01:36.78] I took a little faith
[01:39.50] And put it in a parking lot
[01:43.65] I drove to a strange town
[01:45.85] Full of have and have nots
[01:50.35] And as I walked through that storybook life
[01:57.05] I've been looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night
[02:03.08] Oh! oh! oh!
[02:04.12] When I was a kid
[02:06.12] My grandfather was a preacher
[02:10.73] He'd talk about love
[02:12.88] Yeah he was something like a teacher
[02:17.64] He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
[02:23.41] He was a million miles from a million dollars
[02:27.32] But you could never spend his wealth
[02:31.58]
[02:44.63] Wave
[02:46.98] Put your hands up and hands down
[02:51.78] Wave
[02:53.46] Put your hands up and hands down
[02:58.80] Wave
[03:00.33] Put your hands up and hands down
[03:05.87] When I was a kid
[03:07.86] My grandfather was a preacher
[03:12.75] He'd talk about life
[03:14.83] Yeah he was something like a teacher
[03:19.45] He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
[03:25.34] He was a million miles from a million dollars
[03:28.90] But you could never spend his wealth
[03:32.07]
[03:38.96] He was a million miles from a million dollars
[03:42.87] But you could never spend his wealth
