Gavin DeGraw - Chariot Lyrics






Staring at a maple leaf
Leaning on the mother tree
I said to myself we all lost touch
Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
And seedless watermelon ohhhh
Nothing from the ground is good enough
Body rised
It puts over me

[Chorus:]
Oh chariot your golden waves
are walking down upon this face
Oh chariot I'm singing out loud
To guide me
Give me your...
Strength

Remember seeking moons rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
It is a living promise land
Even over fields of sand
Seasons fill my mind and
Cover me
From bringing back
More than a memory

[Chorus]

You'll be my vacation away from this place
You know what I want
Holding that cup,
It's pouring over the sides
Make me wanna spread my arms and fly

[Chorus]

    Rewatching One Tree Hill. I listen to this song atleast once a day 🖤

    C.... F....

    Cherakee Ferguson me too I just finished one tree hill for the fourth time🤣

  31. D.... 0....

    This dude is a bona-fide singer!

  32. r.... a....

    I have this guy's every song. He's the best

  33. S.... F....

    I'm trying to figure out why Kanye West suggested to me to ride the waves when I posted, one of my favorite songs by Gavin Degraw, "Chariot." It's such a beautiful song. And, he has a beautiful heart. 💚

  34. D.... U....

    I used to like the song better before knowing this corny video

  35. A.... L....

    I was 6 years when this song came out but I'm very nostalgic because it was on my fathers iPod. Didn't know English then because I'm from Denmark but I still liked the music.

  36. J.... B....

    One of my favorite songs ever

  37. E.... C....

    I used to be obsessed with this song

  38. R.... N....

    Is the blonde in the video desperate or a gold digger or both? Feminism has it's ways.

    R.... N....

    Recce Nomad She represents temptation; fame, worldliness, materialism, superficiality, etc. The entire video tells the story of a soulful artist being tempted by the mainstream and eventually rejecting it because he sees how empty and meaningless it really is.

    R.... N....

    @A Evans thank you Sir!

  39. D.... L....

    Please rise for our national Sears/JCPenny's anthem.

  40. M.... L....

    Staring at a maple leaf
    Leaning on the mother tree
    I said to myself, "we all lost touch"
    Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries
    And seedless watermelon, oh
    Nothing from the ground is good enough
    Body rise
    Look what's over me

    [Chorus]
    Oh, chariot your golden waves
    Are walking down upon this face
    Oh, chariot I'm singing out loud
    To guide me
    Give me your strength

    [Verse 2]
    Remember seeking moon's rebirth
    Rains made mirrors of the earth
    The sun was just yellow energy
    It is a living promise land
    Even over fields of sand
    Seasons fill my mind and
    Cover me
    Bringing back
    More than a memory


    [Chorus]
    Oh, chariot your golden waves
    Are walking down upon this face
    Oh, chariot I'm singing out loud

    [Outro]
    Give me your strength (chariot)
    Give me your strength (chariot)
    Give me your strength (chariot)
    Give me your strength (chariot)
    Give me your strength (give it to me)
    Chariot
    Give me your strength (give it to me)
    Chariot
    Give me your strength (give it to me)
    Chariot
    Give me your strength, oh chariot

    Gavin I hope your well

    Year is 2019, this song still rocks

  90. N.... B....

    Still awesome in 2019🙋🏼‍♀️

    N.... B....

    I love it too

    N.... B....

    🥰🥰

    N.... B....

    And that’s a fact

    N.... B....

    * 2020 too!

  91. J.... B....

    *JESUS CHRIST...GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH!* 😇🙏

  92. H.... f....

    This video is a GR8 illustration about the Evil Entertainment Industry! ✨*ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD!*✨ _Jesus is the Only Way!_ 🙏

  93. J.... B....

    It's so nice seeing an artist turn down the evil entertainment industry's gold & glitter. I met Gavin after a concert a few years ago in Abq, NM and he couldn't have been nicer. Hope he really IS as nice as he seems. He's my favorite singer! 🎤

    J.... B....

    he’s a Jew & signed with an elite Jew label, Clive Davis the Zionist that offed whitney

  94. r.... a....

    I will never forget this guy. He's amazing

  95. D.... J....

    Y’all don’t understand how much I see to love this song and i was only like 8 or 9

  96. L.... G....

    These 2000’s videos are so generic

    L.... G....

    Oh yeah like today's garbage is so groundbreaking.

  97. M.... C....

    This is not something I’d ordinarily listen to, but I have to say that it’s an awesome video & a very good song.
