Lyrics
Elijah
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have no fancy sermon
Just a plain and a simple song
That you can play in the key of A
If you'd like to sing along
It's all about the way things are
And not the way things might have been
You can be ridin' in the hurricane's eye
And still have peace within
I live for my own pleasure
I was a leader of the blind
A passenger on the road to fame
I was a legend in my mind
Ah, but when the truth came to me
Well I sadly did confess
With just a pile of rags before God's eyes
In my righteousness
Elijah was a man
Just like you
Sometimes happy
Sometimes blue
He was a little bit impatient
But he somehow knew
If he waited on the Lord
He would surely come through
Well I nearly searched this whole world over
Just to find me a place of rest
Where I could be myself and do
All of the things that I love best
Like a black sheep a wandering
Or a rebel in retreat
Never found contentment children
'Til I fell at the Shephard's feet
Elijah was a man
Just like you
Sometimes happy
Sometimes blue
He was a little bit impatient
But he somehow knew
If he waited on the Lord
He would surely come through
Elijah was a man
Just like you
Sometimes happy
Sometimes blue
He was a little bit impatient
But he somehow knew
If he waited on the Lord
He would surely come through
Whoa-a Elijah was a man
Just like you
Sometimes happy
Sometimes blue
He was a little bit impatient
But he somehow knew
If he waited on the Lord
He would surely come through
Elijah was a man
Just like you
Sometimes happy
Sometimes blue
He was a little bit impatient
But he somehow knew
If he waited on the Lord
He would surely come through
