Shawn James – Preacher Foretold lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was just a young boy
A preacher came to town
With an air of awe and mystery
That did confound
Outta hundreds of young children
He took me to the side
Saying: "boy, I don’t normally do this
But in you I must confide"
He said: "son, I know you’re different
I can see it in your soul
And I got a message for you
From the great unknown
Don’t you be ashamed
Of what you will become
Your truth will be much different
Than these sheep's rule of thumb
Your voice will reach far
Your words will reach wide
Your spirit will inspire many who otherwise would have died"

[Chorus]
"So give it all you got
Give it all you got
Give it all you got
Give it all you got"

[Verse 2]
Now I’m a little older
Been from sea to shining sea
Through valleys and across mountains
That prophecy’s stayed with me
Once I tried to ignore it
And hide it down below
But that muse had me breathless
Lying on the killing floor
So, don’t you be surprised
When I open wide the door
There’s so much more coming
Than there’s ever been before
You can try to deny
Just what’s been foretold
But like David and Goliath at the giants, I’m slinging stones

[Chorus]
Giving it all I got
Giving it all I got
Giving it all I got
Giving it all I got
Ya got to give it all ya got
Give it all you got
Give it all you got
Give it all you got
Give it all you got
