Preachin' to the Choir
From the album Crooked Path
Preachin’ to the Choir ©2007 Michael Jerling Preachin’ to the choir Preachin’ to the choir Hittin’ all the high notes With your tongues of fire Truth is gettin’ dizzy And walkin’ on a wire It’s just heat, no light When you’re preachin’ to the choir The jets fly over And the bright flags wave And we all agree that We’re the home of the brave Got the president’s message On the big screen live He’s preachin’ to the choir Preachin’ to the choir Hittin’ all the high notes With your tongues of fire Truth is gettin’ dizzy And walkin’ on a wire It’s just heat, no light When you’re preachin’ to the choir The folksinger strums And the people sway And their eyes get moist As the doves fly away Someone shouting in a bull horn Waving homemade signs They’re preachin’ to the choir Preachin’ to the choir Hittin’ all the high notes With your tongues of fire Truth is gettin’ dizzy And walkin’ on a wire It’s just heat, no light When you’re preachin’ to the choir He takes the Holy Word And shoots it at the sky He’s got a personal note from God To set the world on fire He’s preachin’ to the choir Preachin’ to the choir Hittin’ all the high notes With your tongues of fire Truth is gettin’ dizzy And walkin’ on a wire It’s just heat, no light When you’re preachin’ to the choir
