Kansas - The Preacher Lyrics






Gather round the preacherman gather round here
If you're waiting for the word that'll make it all clear
When you look in the sky you can see what he sees
There's a fire in the Belt of Hercules

Well the man in the collar says come to the fold
Bible in his hand tassle of gold
Says heaven could be locked but he's got a set of keys
They fit the buckle in the belt of Hercules

We all gotta come to the light together
Put your dreams in your pocket boy
We all gotta come to the light together
Follow me
The preacherman's climbing up above a timberline
Bible in his hand praying for a sign
Says "I'm tired of the devil - I'm down on my knees!"
"I'll fight the battle for the belt of Hercules"

We all gotta come to the light together
Put your dreams in your pocket boy
We all gotta come to the light together
Follow me

    MY GOD!!!!!!!!! I'm 57, Pro Musician (drummer), Followed Kansas for 5 decades!!! This song is on point! But for the love of Christ, please tell me this song is secular. Please don't tell me that my boys from (everywhere else but Kansas) aren't delusional, indoctrinated muta fuckas??!!

    Paul, in the first place, the original members of Kansas are all from Topeka or not far from it. Second, there's no indication that "your boys" have done any such thing. On the other hand, if you have "followed Kansas for 5 decades", how is it that you have missed the obvious Christian influence? In fact, Kerry Livgren was converted while still a chief songwriter for Kansas. Original bassist Dave Hope left the band to focus on a career as an Anglican priest. Their current violinist, David Ragsdale, is famously a Christian. Steve Morse, who co-wrote the song with Steve Walsh, is the son of a minister and was presumably raised in a Christian household (if you've ever watched his career, he tends to align himself with artists who lean that way). Finally, as a Christian myself, I'm offended by your post, which makes you look dumber than a bag of rocks. For the love of Christ indeed.

    Why does it matter? Just enjoy the performance and the talent and keep your prejudices to yourself.
