Testo Beautiful Strangers - Mavis Staples
Testo della canzone Beautiful Strangers (Mavis Staples), tratta dall'album Sad and Beautiful World
If you ever hear that thunder
Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
Oh, and whether you're gonna get on in
It's up to you
If you ever hear that cryin'
In the distance, like some siren
Maybe there's a singer with no ring
Around their little finger, oh, love
And if I lose my voice
If I have no choice but to go quiet, hmm
Won't you sing for me
A melody into the night there?
If I die too young
And the wolf he comes
Fee-fi-fo-fum, hmm
If I die too young (ooh)
And locusts come
Then run, run, run free
If you ever hear that gunshot
You may think 'bout what you do, but you don't gotta
Say a prayer
Think of mother
I am a rock
Oh, yeah
If you ever hear that sound now
If the door gets kicked in here, they come now
Think of others
Be their cover
I am what they're not
Pray for Paris
They cannot scare us
Or stop the music, no
You've got a sweet voice, child
Why don't you use it?
And if I die too young
If the gunmen come, I'm full of love
So release me, every piece of me
Up above, up above
Love my mama and my papa
Love my sister, can't stand the coppers
Up in their choppers
Oh, flying overhead
49 dead
Singing, oh, my Lord, carry me home
Oh, my Lord, carry me home
Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
And if I die too young
For something I ain't done
Carry my name every day
Oh, I'm sorry, oh, I'm sorry
Freddie Gray
Oh, sleep easy
Like baby Jesus
In a manger
Oh, sleep easy
Like little Jesus
Beautiful stranger
If I die too young
Let all that I've done
Be remembered, hmm
I'll sleep easy
Like baby Jesus
In His manger
I'll sleep easy
Like little Jesus
Safe from danger
Carry onward
Like some songbird
Beautiful stranger
Carry onward
Like some songbird
Beautiful stranger
Oh, my Lord
Beautiful stranger
Oh, my Lord
Beautiful stranger
