Preacher Foretold - Shawn James

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

So give it all you got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got

Give it all you got

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 comin 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

Givin' it all I got

Givin' it all I got

Givin' it all I got

Givin' it all I got

Ya got to give it all ya got

Give it all ya got

Give it all ya got

Give it all ya got
