Preach - John Legend

Every day I wake and

Everything is broken

Turning off my phone just to get out of bed

Get home every evening

And history's repeating

Turning off my phone cuz it's hurting my chest

And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah

But what can I do?

I can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can't sit and hope, I

Can't just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

Falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices

Everybody's talking

Nothing real is happening, cause nothing is new

Now when all is tragic

And I just feel sedated

Why do I feel numb?

Is that all I can do?

Yeah

And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah

But I'm only human

I can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can't sit and hope, I

Can't just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

I'm falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

And heaven knows I'm not helpless

But what can I do?

Can't see the use in me crying

If I'm not even trying to make the change I wanna see

I can't sit and hope, I

Can't just sit and pray, that

I can find a love, when

All I see is pain

I try to do the things, I

Say that I believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

(Woah oh oh oh oh ohhhh)

I can't just preach, baby, preach

Falling to my knees

And though I do believe

I can't just preach, baby, preach
