Preacher Man

(album: Preacher Man - 1973)

People coming from every town
They stand in line for miles around
They come to hear a story of a simple little man
Take part in his blessing for peace throughout the land

Oh, preacher man, hey, preacher man
Try and help us understand, yeah
(Stand in line, touch his hand)
Preacher man, oh, preacher man
Show the way now if you can, yeah
(Listen to the preacher man)

He breaks it down in words with rhyme
The meaning, though, is ours to find
Where he's coming from, to see what's on his mind
What he's really all about is that we're all one kind

Oh, preacher man, hey, preacher man
Try and help us understand, yeah
The future of every town, a symbol in my mind
A one in all will hear his call that we're all one kind
Preacher man
Stand in line, touch his hand

In time, we'll all find out what he's talking about
Preacher man, oh yeah
And from his work, we'll understand on what is coming down
Time will surely come around when peace and love are found

Hey, preacher man, oh, preacher man
Try and help us understand, yeah
(Stand in line, touch his hand)
Oh, preacher man, oh, preacher man
Show the way now if you can
(Listen to the preacher man)

Preacher man
Try and help us understand
Oh, preacher man (Oh, preacher man)
Show the way if you can
Preacher man (Oh, won't you try to understand?)
Try and help us understand
Preacher man (Hey, yeah)
Show the way if you can
Preacher man (You know, you know, you know, you know)
Try and help us understand
Preacher man (You make me wanna bring it home, yeah)
Show the way if you can
Preacher man (Yeah, home, oh yeah)
Try and help us understand
Preacher man
Show the way if you can (Preacher man)
