Story Behind The Song
This was one of the first songs I wrote after chemotherapy. I was elated to still be alive and to have another chance. I was raised in the gospel choir and returned to my roots in this song to give praise and thank you to God.

Lyrics
Verse 1:
I've been trying to live a good life
For so long
That it seems like, I'm living a dream
Fourteen hours before release
The clocks speed decreased
I'm watching like a pot full of steam
I've devoured all of the cost
Come to terms with what I lost
Humbled by, all that I've seen
But I survived every mistake
And I'm grateful for the ways
He showed me, I'm redeemed
Chorus:
Somebody say Preach
PREACH
Tell em bout the good
Since the bad is never out of reach
Somebody say Preach
PREACH
Praise till the morning comes
And it's coming
Somebody say preach
PREACH
If you gotta testimony
Stand up and deliver your speech
Somebody say preach
PREACH
Somebody say preach
Verse 2:
Someone say amen
AMEN
Let the choir stand llght up with glee
Somebody say, He can
HE CAN
Don't say it, unless you believe
I've seen some hard times
HARD TIMES
And had to face hard truths
But I kept on believing
And lept despite the reasons
That I was too scared to move
Chorus:
Somebody say Preach
PREACH
Tell em bout the good
Since the bad is never out of reach
Somebody say Preach
PREACH
Praise till the morning comes
And it's coming
Somebody say preach
PREACH
If you gotta testimony
Stand up and deliver your speech
Somebody say preach
PREACH
Somebody say preach
Bridge:
I've come to far to turn back
I've gained more than I lack
It gets hard sometimes to press on
But you'll make it, that's a fact
Chorus:
Somebody say Preach
PREACH
Tell em bout the good
Since the bad is never out of reach
Somebody say Preach
PREACH
Praise till the morning comes
And it's coming
Somebody say preach
PREACH
If you gotta testimony
Stand up and deliver your speech
Somebody say preach
PREACH
Somebody say preach
Break Down:
Somebody Say Preach
Somebody Say Preach
Somebody Say Preach
Somebody Say Preach
