Karaoké Ameriican Requiem Beyoncé

Nothin' really ends

For things to stay the same they have to change again

Hello my old friend

You change your name but not the ways you play pretend

American Requiem

Them big ideas are buried here

Amen

It's a lot of talkin' goin' on while I sing my song

Can you hear me

I said Do you hear me

Looka there, looka there now

Looka there

Looka there

It's a lotta chatter in here but let me make myself clear

Can you hear me or do you fear me

Can we stand for somethin'

Now is the time to face the wind

Ow

Comin' in peace and love y'all

Oh

A lot of takin' up space

Salty tears beyond my gaze

Can you stand me

Ooh ah

Can we stand

Can you stand with me

Can we stand for somethin'

Now is the time to face the wind

Now ain't the time to pretend

Now is the time to let love in

Thinkin' to myself

Oh

It's a lot of talkin' goin' on

Oh

While I sing my song

Yeah

Do you hear me when I say

Do you hear me when I say ah

Looka there, looka there

Looka, look

Looka looka looka looka looka

Looka looka there, looka there

L-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-looka there

Oh looka there, looka there

Looka there, looka there

L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L

Can we stand for somethin'

Now is the time to face the wind

Now ain't the time to pretend

Now is the time to let love in

Together can we stand

Looka there, looka in my hand

The grandbaby of a moonshine man

Gadsden Alabama

Got folk down in Galveston

Rooted in Louisiana

Used to say I spoke too country

And the rejection came

Said I wasn't country 'nough

Said I wouldn't saddle up but

If that ain't country tell me what is

Plant my bare feet on solid ground for years

They don't, don't know how hard

I had to fight for this when I sang my song

When I sang the song of Abraham

When the angels guide and take my hand

Oh no

Goodbye to what has been

A pretty house that we never settled in

A funeral for fair-weather friends

I am the one to cleanse me of my Father's sins

American Requiem

Them big ideas are buried here

Amen
