Beautiful Strangers

Lyrics for Beautiful Strangers

If you ever hear that thunder Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather Oh, and whether you're gonna get on in It's up to you If you ever hear that cryin' In the distance, like some siren Maybe there's a singer with no ring Around their little finger, oh, love And if I lose my voice If I have no choice but to go quiet, hmm Won't you sing for me A melody into the night there? If I die too young And the wolf he comes Fee-fi-fo-fum, hmm If I die too young (ooh) And locusts come Then run, run, run free If you ever hear that gunshot You may think 'bout what you do, but you don't gotta Say a prayer Think of mother I am a rock Oh, yeah If you ever hear that sound now If the door gets kicked in here, they come now Think of others Be their cover I am what they're not Pray for Paris They cannot scare us Or stop the music, no You've got a sweet voice, child Why don't you use it? And if I die too young If the gunmen come, I'm full of love So release me, every piece of me Up above, up above Love my mama and my papa Love my sister, can't stand the coppers Up in their choppers Oh, flying overhead 49 dead Singing, oh, my Lord, carry me home Oh, my Lord, carry me home Oh, my Lord, come carry me home And if I die too young For something I ain't done Carry my name every day Oh, I'm sorry, oh, I'm sorry Freddie Gray Oh, sleep easy Like baby Jesus In a manger Oh, sleep easy Like little Jesus Beautiful stranger If I die too young Let all that I've done Be remembered, hmm I'll sleep easy Like baby Jesus In His manger I'll sleep easy Like little Jesus Safe from danger Carry onward Like some songbird Beautiful stranger Carry onward Like some songbird Beautiful stranger Oh, my Lord Beautiful stranger Oh, my Lord Beautiful stranger
