Preacher Lyrics - Native - Onerepublic

When I was a kid 

I used to buy and sell gravity 

I knew how to fly 

And I could teach you for a fee 

Broke every window 

In my hotel heart 

When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred 

And I'd hear the same voice 

Echo in my mind 

Said 'son you got an angel, 

To chase the devil at the 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 walked through that storybook life 

I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the night 

Oh! oh! oh! 

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 

Put your hands up and hands down 

Put your hands up and hands down 

When I was a kid 

My grandfather was a preacher 

He'd talk about life 

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 

Oh! 

He was a million miles from a million dollars 

But you could never spend his wealth
