Chris Rea Somebody Say Amen song lyrics

There's a soft wind blowing through the sugar cane

And the pink fruit juice is melting

On a beach down sandy lane

And the Sunday school dresses sway

In sun-bleached harmony

Where the waves of green

Meet the waves of blue

And the preacher sets you free

It seems in prayers and money

You look for five to get you ten

Somebody say amen

Won't somebody say? amen

I see the people without the money

Being peaceful with the lord

Yeah the church seems full of happiness

But the jet set's looking bored

They getting high without a penny here

They're finding peace without a dime

But the rain turns cold on the city streets

And the smiles are hard to find

Oh the pain of only wanting

For your five to get you ten

Somebody say amen

Won't somebody say amen

Amen
