I'll Never be a Preacher

from Random Shuffling by Englewood

/

lyrics

I know I’ll never be a preacher.
God knows I’ll never be a priest.
Maybe I’ll try to be a teacher
Of one simple point at least.

Because I really do believe.
That we are all a part of one.
And our separate selves all grew
Under the same warm sun.

If anything ties together.
Human future and its past.
It’s our common threads of life
That sew together
Whatever’s going to last.

So when you talk about your fences,
And your borders and your walls,
Something inside me yells out “Listen!”
To our common soul’s calls.

Remember we’re all joined together.
Don’t forget that we all are one.
Don’t forget that we all grew
Under the same warm sun.

And if anything ties together
Human future and its past,
It’s our common threads of life
That sew together whatever’s going to last.

I know I’ll never be a preacher.
God knows I’ll never be a priest.
Maybe I’ll try to be a teacher
Of this simple point at least…
