Beautiful Strangers

If you ever hear the thunder

Put your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder

Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather

Oh, and weather

You're gonna get on in, it's up to him

If you ever hear that crying

In the distance like some siren

Maybe there's a singer

With no ring around their little finger

No love

And if I lose my voice

If I have no choice but to go quiet

Won't you sing for me?

A melody into the night air

If I die too young, if the wolf he comes

Fee-fi-foe-fum

If I die too young, if the locust come

Well then, run, run, run

Free

If you ever hear that gun shot

You may think 'bout what you do

But you don't got

Say a prayer, think of mother

I am a rock

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

You got a sweet voice, child

Why don't you use it?

If I die too young, or 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, forty-nine dead

Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home

Oh, my Lord, come carry me home

I'm singing, oh, my God, oh, my Lord

Oh, my God, oh, my Lord

Oh, my God, oh, my Lord

Oh, my Lord

And if I die too young for something I ain't done

Carry my name everyday

Oh, I'm sorry

Oh, I'm sorry

Freddy Gray

But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger

Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus, beautiful stranger

Oh, beautiful stranger

If I die too young, let all that I've done be remembered

And I'll sleep easy like baby Jesus in his manger

And 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, beautiful stranger
