Preach lyrics

[Verse 1]

Every day I wake and everything is broken

Turnin' off my phone just to get out of bed

Get home every evenin' and history's repeatin'

Turnin' off my phone 'cause it's hurtin' my chest

Hey

[Pre-Chorus]

And Heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah

But what can I do?

I can't see the use in me cryin'

If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see

[Chorus]

I can't sit and hope, I can't just sit and pray that

I can find the love when all I see is pain

Fallin' to my knees, and though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can't just preach, baby, preach

[Verse 2]

All I hear is voices, everybody's talkin'

Nothin' real is happenin' 'cause nothing is new

Now, when all this tragic, and I just feel sedated

Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

And Heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah (Uh)

But I'm only human

I can't see the use in me cryin'

If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see

[Chorus]

I can't sit and hope, I can't just sit and pray that

I can find the love when all I see is pain

Fallin' to my knees, and though I do believe (Though I do believe)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can't just preach, baby, preach

[Pre-Chorus]

And Heaven knows I'm not helpless

But what can I do? Yeah

I can't see the use in me cryin'

If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see

[Chorus]

I can't sit and hope, I can't just sit and pray that

I can find the love when all I see is pain

I try to do the things I say that I believe (I do believe)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I can't just preach, baby, preach

[Outro]

Fallin' to my knees, and though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach
