Old master had a leper for a childLeft him to fend for himself in the wildThey laughed at him every time he went to townSo he kept to himself and he seldom came aroundHe loved life and he loved his kinBut he didn't understand why they didn't love himSlept out in a shed all aloneAnd all he ever wanted was some friends of his ownThe field hands saved him, took him in and raised himTaught him about love and struggle and patienceThey gave him the family comfort he was cravin'He worked when they worked and he sang when they sangHe sang so clear and so loud that the mastersAnd their children could hear him from the houseThey recognized his voice and ran outEverybody wanna know what the ruckus all aboutPreach on Mr. Preacher man, they sayEverybody wanna hear what you have to sayStand tall, speak loud boy, that's the wayThem songs of yours bring us a brand new dayPreach on Mr. Preacher man, they sayLetras de cancionesEverybody wanna hear what you have to sayStand tall, speak loud boy, that's the wayThem songs of yours bring us a brand new dayHe said, good Lord, I been waitin' so longFor y'all to come out and take me in the homeThe world's so cold with no place to belongThey said, come on in boy, sing us a songHe stepped inside and to his surpriseIt was so damn fly, he can't believe his eyesHe ate and he drank and he felt satisfiedTill he sat by the window and he glanced outsideLoved ones out workin'His eyes got full and his heart start hurtin''Cause them folk been singin' for yearsAnd ain't never one of them set foot up in hereHold up, how y'all get so muchLivin' off of folks like us that got it so rough?The way you hold them in your cold clutchMakes me think that you don't love your own souls enoughPreach on Mr. Preacher man, they sayEverybody wanna hear what you have to sayStand tall, speak loud boy, that's the wayThem songs of yours bring us a brand new dayPreach on Mr. Preacher man, they sayEverybody wanna hear what you have to sayStand tall, speak loud boy, that's the wayThem songs of yours bring us a brand new dayClosed his eyes as he sang every noteThe songs he was taught and the ones that he wroteStood up, cleared his throat, grabbed his coatIn those last moments a few words was spokeI used to peek at this old house and allImagine what it must be like and allAnd this the finest spread these eyes ever sawBut I don't mind sayin' I feel sorry for y'allAll that gettin', so little givin'Let a lot of y'all forget what's missin'Built you a big pretty prison to sit inStrut around here convinced that that's livin'But we gonna keep on singin'Keep on soldierin', keep on buildin'Keep on teachin', keep on listenin'And keep, keepin' on till the whole thing's differentIn his shed the sun started to setHe said all his prayers and lay down his headEverythin' was said that he needed to sayAnd one of these mornings we'll wake up to a brand newPreach on Mr. Preacher man, they sayEverybody wanna hear what you have to sayStand tall, speak loud boy, that's the wayThem songs of yours bring us a brand new dayPreach on Mr. Preacher man, they sayEverybody wanna hear what you have to sayStand tall, speak loud boy, that's the wayThem songs of yours bring us a brand new day From Letras Mania
