Elijah - House of EL, Jay Prince, Laura Mvula

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
