AMERIICAN REQUIEM Lyrics by Beyoncé Beyoncé
Below, you will find the lyrics for AMERIICAN REQUIEM by 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
Chorus 1
It's a lot of talkin' going on
While I sing my song
Can you hear me?
I said, 'Do you hear me?'
Looka dere, looka dere now
Looka dere, looka dere
Chorus 1
Looka-looka, looka dere, looka dere
Looka-looka, looka dere, looka dere
Looka-looka, looka dere, looka dere
Looka-looka, looka dere, looka dere
It's a lotta chatter in here
But let me make myself clear
Can you hear me?
Or do you fear me?
Verse 1
Can we stand for something?
Now is the time to face the wind
Coming in peace and love, y'all
A lotta takin' up space
Salty tears beyond my gaze
Can you stand me?
Can you stand me? Can you stand me? Can you stand me?
Verse 1
Can we stand?
Can you stand me? Can you stand me? Can you stand me?
Can you stand with me?
Chorus 2
Can we stand for something?
Now is the time to face the wind
Now ain't the time to pretend
Now is the time to let love in
Bridge
Thinking to myself
It's a lot of talkin' going on
While I sing my song
Do you hear me when I say?
Do you hear me when I say?
Looka dere, looka dere
Chorus 3
Looka, look
Looka-looka-looka-looka-looka
Looka-looka dere, looka dere
L-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-looka dere
Looka dere, looka dere
Looka dere, looka dere
Can you stand me? Can you stand me? Can you stand me?
Can you stand me? Can you stand me? Can you stand me?
Can we stand for something?
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 dere, 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
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
