Preacher [Italian translation]

When I was a kid

I used to buy and sell gravity

I knew how to fly

And I would teach you for a fee

Broke every window

In my hotel heart

When I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred

And I'd hear the same voice

Echo in my mind

Said, "Son you got an angel,

To chase the devil at night."

Yeah

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about God

Yeah he was something like a teacher

He said, "God only helps those

Who learn to help themselves."

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth

I took a little faith

And put it in a parking lot

I drove to a strange town

Full of "have" and "have nots"

And as I walked through that storybook life

I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at night

Oh! Oh! Oh!

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about love

Yeah he was something like a teacher

He said, "God only helps those

Who learn to help themselves."

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth

Oh! Oh! Oh!

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!

Wave

Put your hands up and hands down

[3x]

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about life

Yeah he was something like a teacher

He said, "God only helps those

Who learn to help themselves."

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth.
