Preacher Foretold

[Verse 1]

When I was just a young boy

A preacher came to town

With an air of awe and mystery

That did confound

Outta hundreds of young children

He took me to the side

Saying: "boy, I don’t normally do this

But in you I must confide"

He said: "son, I know you’re different

I can see it in your soul

And I got a message for you

From the great unknown

Don’t you be ashamed

Of what you will become

Your truth will be much different

Than these sheep's rule of thumb

Your voice will reach far

Your words will reach wide

Your spirit will inspire many who otherwise would have died"

[Chorus]

"So give it all you got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got"

[Verse 2]

Now I’m a little older

Been from sea to shining sea

Through valleys and across mountains

That prophecy’s stayed with me

Once I tried to ignore it

And hide it down below

But that muse had me breathless

Lying on the killing floor

So, don’t you be surprised

When I open wide the door

There’s so much more coming

Than there’s ever been before

You can try to deny

Just what’s been foretold

But like David and Goliath at the giants, I’m slinging stones

[Chorus]

Giving it all I got

Giving it all I got

Giving it all I got

Giving it all I got

Ya got to give it all ya got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got
