Elijah

Verse

Sign a stream in time with a kiss of life

Elijah

Taking forward steps in retrograde

Elijah

You just can’t get what you want

But take a sip from the font

Or the well that won’t run dry

Chorus

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah

Verse2

Climb the mountain t’wards yesterday

Elijah

Wrote my name on the stone but I remained

Elijah

You just Can’t get what you want

But take a sip from the font

Or the well that won’t run dry

Chorus

Oh Oh, Oh Oh Elijah

Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah

Rap

I keep you close when I’m focused

Take a sip on the world it’s so potent

I take a look at myself when I’m hopeless open doors for you to see oceans

For many moons I proved to be coldest

And at times when I was so broken

There’s no cure for this there’s no potions

So just gimme the light cos I’m chosen ah

I promise you won’t make it, part of me is like maybe, part of me is so crazy

Part of me is like face it, living a life - they might take it

Tried to be the bravest soul around, Might go crazy on me now,

Tell me how you feel about the boy, many times I tried to fill a void oh

It’s ok now, they say that there’s no way out

I’ve been the one that’s been around, Took the foundations off the ground

Trying to make my momma proud, I’m hoping you hear me now

Never finished I ain’t even started, Lord savee me from the carnage

This is never any give me everything, Everything eternal show me everything

I can never be the one that’s never been, Only you can show me everything

Taking me places I’ve never been, showing me stars I never seen

Giving me light and relevance, Oh God I need everything - yeah
