[Eb] Closed his eyes as they sang every note.
The songs he was told and the words that
he wrote.
Stood up near his throat, grabbed his
phone.
In those last moments [Bb] a few words were
[Eb] spoke.
I used to peek at [Ebm] this old house wall.
Imagining what it must be like and all.
And it's the finest prayer these eyes
ever saw.
[Eb] But I don't mind saying [Bb] I feel sorry for
y'all.
[Eb] All that hitting, so little giving.
Let a lot of y'all to
forget what's missing.

Strut around here [Bb] convinced that that's living.
[Ebm]
But we [Eb] gonna keep on singing.
Keep on soldiering.
Keep on building.
[Ebm] Keep on teaching.
[Eb] And keep on listening.
And keep keeping on [Bb] till the whole thing's
[Eb] different.
In the shed the sun starts to set.
Said all
his prayers and laid down his head.
Everything said that he needed to say.
And one of these mornings [Bb] we'll wake up to a brand [Gb] new.
Preach on [Ebm] Mr.
