[Verse 1]
It took three damn days
For the mission man
Heard he's comin'
Straight from hell
Like a fast-track bleedin'
And siren screamin'
If you don't listen
You could never tell

[Pre-Chorus]
Three days dead and risin'
Where you goin' now?
I wish you well
Three days dead and risin'
With a half head full o' dreams
I could never sell

[Chorus 1]
Oh, let us prey
Oh, let us prey

[Chorus 2]
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'
Three days gone
Hear the mission man say
"Time to get down to business
Let us prey"

[Verse 2]
He walked in like the duke
He was the mission man
He had death leakin'
From his eyes
He seemed much bigger
With his finger on the trigger
Said, "It took me
Three days to rise"

[Pre-Chorus]
"Three days dead and risin'
I think these here are yours
I couldn't tell
Three days dead and risin'"
Then he handed on back the dreams
That he couldn't sell

[Chorus 1]
Oh, let us prey
Oh, let us prey

[Chorus 2]
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'
Three days gone
Hear the mission man say
"Time to get down to business
Let us prey"

[Bridge 1]
Lord, I got a bleeder
It's a fast-track feeder
And it nailed me down tight
For the rest o' my life
Was a double damn shot
O' what I need when I want it
And it givin' me redemption
Through the darkest of night

[Bridge 2]
Lord, I lost the lightnin'
It was so damn frightenin'
And it pulled me up close
Like I was losin' my life
Was a double damn shot
Knocked me down, yeah, I got it
And it givin' me some light
Through the rest o' my life

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus]
"Three days dead and risin'
I think these here are yours
I couldn't tell
Three days dead and risin'"
Then he handed on back the dreams
That would never sell

[Chorus 1]
Oh, let us prey
Oh, let us prey

[Chorus 2]
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'
Three days gone
For the mission man
Three days gone
And risin'

[Post-Chorus]
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)

[Outro]
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)
Three days dead and risin'
Risin', risin', risin'
(Let us prey)

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
