Beautiful Strangers

[Verse 1] 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 Is up to him [Verse 2] If you ever hear that crying In the distance like some siren Maybe there's a singer with no ring Around their little finger, no love And If I lose my voice If I have no choice but to go quiet Won't you sing for me A melody into the night air [Refrain] And if I die too young Oh, if the wolf he comes Fee-fi-fo-fum If I die too young Oh, if the locust come Well then run, run, run Free [Verse 3] If you ever hear that gunshot You may think 'bout what you do but you don't got Say a prayer Think of mother I am a rock [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] Pray for Paris They cannot scare us Or stop the music You got a sweet voice, child Why don't you use it? [Refrain] 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, ooh [Verse 6] Love my mama and my papa Love my sister Can't stand the coppers Up in their choppers Oh, flying overhead Forty-nine dead [Verse 7] Singing, oh, my Lord come carry me home Oh, my Lord come carry me home I'm singing oh my God Oh my Lord Oh my God, oh my Lord Oh my God, oh my Lord, oh my Lord [Refrain] 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 [Chorus] But sleep easy Like baby Jesus In a manger Oh, sleep easy Like little Jesus Beautiful stranger Oh, beautiful stranger [Instrumental Break] [Refrain] If I die too young Let all that I've done Be remembered [Outro] And I'll sleep easy Like baby Jesus In his manger And 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, beautiful stranger
