Les paroles de la chanson
« Preacher »
One Republic
When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity.
I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee.
Broke every window in my hotel heart
When I was only five years old,
the 12 years scarred
But I’d hear the same voice echo in my mind
Said, "Son you got an angel that’d chase the devil at night"
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher.
He’d talk about God.
Yeah he was something like a teacher.
He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
He was a million miles from a million dollars,
but you could never spend his wealth
I took a little faith and put it in a parking lot
I drove to a strange town full of "have" and "have-nots"
And as I walk through that story-book life
I was looking for an angel who’d chase the devil at night
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher.
He’d talk about love. Yeah he was something like a teacher.
He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
He was a million miles from a million dollars,
but you could never spend his wealth
Wave. Put your hands up and hands down. (x3)
