Ok, ik heb al eerder over de beste man geschreven. Maar zijn huidige single en hit-in-wording is zo gruwlijk mooi dat ik er maar weer even aandacht aan moet schenken. Gavin DeGraw dus. Met het nummer ‘Chariot’ van het album met dezelfde titel. (Ik heb het album trouwens laatst beluisterd en die is sowieso erg de moeite waard!)

Chariot
Gavin DeGraw

“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 whats 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 seeing moons rebirth
Rains made mirrors of the earth
The sun was just yellow energy
There 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
to guide me
Give me your strength…

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]
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

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”
