Preach
John Legend
Letra

Everyday 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 'cause it's hurting my chest

And heaven knows I'm not helpless
But what can I do?
I can't see the use in me crying
If I'm not even tryna 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
I can't just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices, everybody's talking
Nothing real is happening
'Cause nothing is new now in all this tragic
And I just feel sedated
Why do I feel numb?
Is that all I can do?

And heaven knows I'm not helpless
But I'm only human
I can't see the use in me crying
If I'm not even tryna 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 (though I do believe)
I can't just preach, baby, preach
I can't just preach, baby, preach

And heaven knows I'm not helpless
But what can I do?
I can't see the use of me crying
If I'm not even tryna 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 that save it, I believe (I do believe)
I can't just preach, baby, preach
I can't just preach, baby, preach
I can't just preach, baby, preach

I'm falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can't just preach, baby, preach
