Lyrics
FISHES AND LOAVES
���©2008 HERNANDEZ AND CHASSNER
I SAW THIS GUY--OUT ON THE STREET
HOMELESS MAN, JUST ASKIN' FOR CHANGE
BUT SOMETHIN' WAS DIFFERENT, SOMETHIN' WAS
STRANGE
IT STOPPED ME COLD RIGHT ON THE CONCRETE
'COS WHEN I-- LOOKED AT HIM,
ALL THAT I COULD SEE
WAS THE MAN FROM GALLILEE
LOOKIN' BACK AT ME
AND YOU CAN SAY--THAT HEAVEN IS ALL GOD KNOWS
BUT YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU SEE HIM HOLDIN' A SIGN--
THAT SAYS "I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES, YES I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES
SOMETHIN' LIKE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE
I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS PLAYIN' A TRICK ON ME
RIGHT THEN AND THERE I WENT DOWN ON MY KNEES
THE WORLD WENT DARK AND I KNEW NO MORE
'COS WHEN I--LOOKED AT HIM,
ALL THAT I COULD SEE
WAS THE MAN FROM GALLILEE
LOOKIN' BACK AT ME
AND YOU CAN SAY--THAT HEAVEN IS ALL GOD KNOWS
BUT YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU SEE HIM HOLDIN' A SIGN--
THAT SAYS "I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES, YES I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES
BRIDGE:
WHEN I AWOKE--I WAS ALL ALONE
THE HOMELESS GUY--HE, TOO HAD GONE
WHAT WAS IT HE MEANT, DO YOU SUPPOSE WHEN HE SAID TO ME "SON,...
IF I WORK WITH FISHES AND LOAVES, WHAT CAN'T I DO WITH A HEART SUCH AS YOURS?"
AND YOU CAN SAY--THAT HEAVEN IS ALL GOD KNOWS
BUT YOU MIGHT CHANGE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU SEE HIM HOLDIN' A SIGN--
THAT SAYS "I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES, YES I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES
(HE) SAID "I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES, YES I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES
(HE) SAID "I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES, YES I'LL WORK FOR FISHES AND LOAVES
