Breakin' Dawn - Brother Ali
Hmmmmmmm
Ha ha ha
Hey hey heeey
Ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha another day ha
Hey hey heeey ah Lord I just gotta find a way
Old master had a leper for a child
Left him out to fend for his self in the wild
They laughed at him anytime he went to town
So he kept to his self and he seldom came around
Loved life and he loved his kin
But he couldn't understand why they ain't love him
Slept out in the shed all alone
And all he ever wanted was some friends of his own
A few hands saved him took him in and raised him
Taught him about love and struggle and patience
Gave him the family comfort he was cravin
He worked when they work and he sang when they sang
He sang so clear and so loud
That the masters of the children could hear him from the house
They recognize his voice and ran out
Everybody wanna know what the ruckus all about y'all
Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
Stand tall speak loud boy that's the way
Them songs of yours bring us a brand new day
Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
Stand tall speak loud boy that's the way
Them songs of yours bring us a brand new day
Ha ha another day ha
Hey hey heeey ah Lord I just gotta find a way
See good Lord I've been waitin so long
For y'all to come out here and take me in the home
The world's so cold with no place to belong
They said "come on in boy sing your song"
He stepped inside and to his surprise
It was so damn fly he can't believe his eyes
Ate and he drank and he felt satisfied
'Til he sat by the window and he glanced out-side
Loved ones out working
Eyes got full and his heart start hurting
'Cause them folk been singing for years
But ain't any one of them set foot up in here
Hold up how you get so much
Livin off folk like us that got it so rough
The way you hold 'em in your cold clutch
Makes me think that you don't love your own soul enough
Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
Stand tall speak loud boy that's the way
Them songs of yours bring us a brand new day
Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
Stand tall speak loud boy that's the way
Them songs of yours give us a brand new day
Ha ha another day ha
Hey hey heeey ah Lord I just gotta find a way
Closed his eyes as he sang every note
The songs he was taught and the ones that he wrote
Stood up cleared his throat grabbed his coat
In those last moments a few words were spoke
"I used to peak at this old house in awe
Imagining what it must be like and all
And this the finest spread these eyes ever saw
But I don't mind saying I feel sorry for y'all
All that getting so little giving
Led a lot of y'all to forget what's missing
Built you a big pretty prison to sit in
Strut around here convinced that that's living
But we gonna keep on singing
Keep on soldering keep on building
Keep on teaching and keep on listening
And keep keeping on 'til the whole thing's different"
In the shed the sun start to set
Said all his prayers and laid down his head
Everything said that he needed to say
And one of these mornings we'll wake up to a brand new
Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
Stand tall speak loud boy that's the way
Them songs of yours bring us a brand new day
Preach on Mr Preacher Man they say
Everybody wanna hear what you have to say
Stand tall speak loud boy that's the way
Them songs of yours give us a brand new day
Ha ha I don't agree
Hey hey heeey ah Lord I just gotta find a way
I don't agree
Oh I just gotta find a way
