Radio Preacher Lyrics

I'm hollowed out

I can't decide if I should pray

Or if I should write a song

About the crushing weight of hopes I made

Waiting for you

Like a lonely homestead pioneer

Your home is nearly done

Now give me a heartbeat give me a heartbeat son

Ahh oooh oooh ooh sha sha ahoo sha sha

Ahh oooh oooh ooh sha sha ahoo sha sha

The waiting room

Should be renamed for contemplating doom

And to the preacher you can tell

I'm laying bricks for a home

Not a wishing well

And I've done what can be done

And I've tried not to believe

The worst is yet to come

And now God's the only one

Who can huff and puff and breathe

My hopes from being born

And when the castles burned

And when the moon has turned

I will be the one who's won

I will be the one who's love was earned

And this is not a passing phase

This is not a lapse in faith

This is a result of roughed up hands

And families raised

But if all he wants is praise

He should turn on the radio

And I've done what can be done

And I've tried not to believe

The worst is yet to come

Our kids are dying in their schools

Senators are buying pools

Our kids are walking through nightmares

Oh thank you for your thoughts and prayers

I sent my boys to school today

We sent our kids to school today

What is a man supposed to do

What is a man supposed to do

And I've done what can be done

And I've tried not to believe

The worst is yet to come

And now God's the only one

Who can huff and puff and breathe

My hopes from being born
