INTRO Nothing really ends For things to stay the same they have to change again Hello my old friend You change your name but not the ways you play pretend American Requiem Them big ideas (yeah), are buried here (yeah) Amen V1 It’s a lot of talking going on, while I sing my song Can you hear me? I said, do you hear me? HOOK 1 Looka dere , looka dere now Looka dere, looka dere V2 It’s a lotta chatter in here, but let me make myself clear Can you hear me? Or do you fear me? HOOK 2 Can we stand for something Now is the time to face the wind Covered in peace and love y’all V3 A lotta taking up space, salty tears beyond my gaze Can you stand me? Can we stand? Can you stand with me? HOOK 3 Can we stand for something Now is the time to face the wind Now ain’t the time to pretend Now is the time to let love in V4 Thinking to myself (thinking to myself) There’s a lot of talking going on While I sing my song Do you hear me when I say? Do you hear me when I say? HOOK 4 Looka dere, looka dere Looka, look, looka, looka, looka, looka, looka, looka Looka dere, looka dere (repeats) Can we stand for something? Now is the time to face the wind Now ain’t the time to pretend Now is the time to let love in Together can we stand? OUTRO Looka dere, looka in my hand The grandbaby of a moonshine man Gadsden, Alabama Got folk down in Galveston, rooted in Louisiana Used to say I spoke too country And then the rejection came, said I wasn’t country enough Said I wouldn’t saddle up, but If that ain’t country, tell me what is Plant my bare feet on solid ground for years They don’t, don’t know how hard we had to fight for this When I sang my song (When I sing the song of Abraham) (When the angels guide and take my hand) OUTRO Goodbye to what has been A pretty house that we never settled in A funeral for fair-weather friends I am the one to cleanse me of my father’s sins American Requiem Them big ideas (yeah), are buried here (yeah) Amen
