Lyrics

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 our name is 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 there
 
 Well, if I die too young, if the wolf he comes
 Fee-fi-fo-fum
 ♪
 If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
 Well then, run, run, run
 Free
 ♪
 If you ever hear that gunshot
 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 can not scare us
 Or stop the music
 Your sweet voice, child
 Why don't you use it?
 ♪
 If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love
 So release me, every piece of me, up above
 (Up above, ooh ooh ooh)
 ♪
 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 every day
 Oh, I'm sorry
 Oh, I'm sorry
 Freddie 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
