Lyrics Elijah - House of EL, Jay Prince, Laura Mvula

Elijah

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
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah
Climb the mountain towards 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
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah
I keep you close when I’m focused
Take a sip from 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
And just gimme the light cause I’m chosen ah
I promise you we gon' 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 okay 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
Ma, I’m hoping you hear me now
Never finished I ain’t even started
Lord save 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
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Elijah
