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 you

[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, oh 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 there

[Chorus]

And if I die too young

Oh, if the wolf he comes

Fee-fi-fo-fum

If I die too young

And the locust come

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, no

You got a sweet voice, child

Why don't you use it?

[Chorus]

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, 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 carry me home

Oh my Lord come carry me home

[Chorus]

And if I die too young

For something I ain't done

Carry my name everyday

Oh, I'm sorry

Oh, I'm sorry

Freddie Gray

[Chorus]

But sleep easy

Like baby Jesus

In a manger

Oh, sleep easy

Like baby Jesus

Beautiful stranger

[Chorus]

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 my lord, beautiful stranger

Oh my lord, beautiful stranger
