Video e Testo: JOHN LEGEND – Preach

“Preach” è il nuovo brano di John Legend, diretto da Dominique DeLeon. 

Come racconta lui stesso: 
“A volte possiamo essere così frustrati dalle notizie e da quello che sta succedendo e questa battaglia sta succedendo in noi stessi. Diventiamo apatici? Ci fidanziamo? Ne parliamo o facciamo qualcosa? “-John Legend

Ecco il testo: 

Every day I wake and everything is broken 
Turnin’ off my phone just to get out of bed 
Get home every evenin’ and history’s repeatin’ 
Turnin’ off my phone ‘cause it’s hurtin’ my chest 
Hey-hey

And Heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah 
But what can I do? 
I can’t see the use in me cryin’ 
If I’m not even tryna make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I can’t just sit and pray that 
I can find the love when all I see is pain 
Fallin’ to my knees, and though I do believe 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach 
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach

All I hear is voices, everybody’s talkin’ 
Nothin’ real is happenin’ ‘cause nothing is new 
Now, when all this tragic, and I just feel sedated 
Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah

And Heaven knows I’m not helpless, yeah (Uh) 
But I’m only human 
I can’t see the use in me cryin’ 
If I’m not even tryna make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I can’t just sit and pray that 
I can find the love when all I see is pain 
Fallin’ to my knees, and though I do believe (Though I do believe) 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach 
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach

And Heaven knows I’m not helpless 
But what can I do? Yeah 
I can’t see the use in me cryin’ 
If I’m not even tryna make the change I wanna see

I can’t sit and hope, I can’t just sit and pray that 
I can find the love when all I see is pain 
I try to do the things I say that I believe (I do believe) 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach 
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach 
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh 
I can’t just preach, baby, preach
