The Seventh Son Lyrics

Everybody's talkin' about the seventh son

In the whole wide world, there is only one

And I'm the one, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the one, there you go

I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one they call the seventh son

I can tell your future, it will come to pass

I can say things to you, make your heart beat fast

Look in the sky, predict the rain

I can tell when a woman got another man

I'm the one, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one they call the seventh son

I can say things to you, make it sound so sweet

I can even make your little heart skip a beat

Heal the sick, raise the dead

I can make the little girls talk out of their head

And I'm the one, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one they call the seventh, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
