I'm an old white woman who remembers so clearly what it felt like to hear a certain voice and piano come on the radio, a voice so unique and unlike any other on the planet, a voice that soothed and connected with so many on so many levels. That voice belonged to Nat King Cole. John's talent is just as unique and important to our culture. God bless this special man and carry his message.
Every day I wake and Everything is broken Turnin' off my phone just to get out of bed Get home every evening And history's repeating Turning off my phone 'cause it's hurting my chest Aye And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah But what can I do? I can't see the use in me crying If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope, I Can't just sit and pray, that I can find a love, when All I see is pain Falling to my knees And though I do believe I can't just preach, baby, preach Whoa, oh I can't just preach, baby, preach All I hear is voices Everybody's talking Nothing real is happening, 'cause nothing is new Now when all is tragic And I just feel sedated Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah But I'm only human I can't see the use in me crying If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope, I Can't just sit and pray, that I can find a love, when All I see is pain Falling to my knees And though I do believe (though I do believe) I can't just preach, baby, preach Whoa, oh I can't just preach, baby, preach And heaven knows I'm not helpless But what can I do? Yea Can't see the use in me crying If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see I can't sit and hope, I Can't just sit and pray, that I can find a love, when All I see is pain I try to do the things, I Say that I believe (I do believe) I can't just preach, baby, preach Whoa, oh I can't just preach, baby, preach Whoa, oh I can't just preach, baby, preach Fallin' to my knees And though I do believe I can't just preach, baby, preach
Oh, my goodness! I feel as if this song... These words just jumped directly out of my thoughts, heart, soul, entire being and left me speechless. Overwhelmingly powerful! Goosebumps! ❣️
John Legend thank you for another amazing song. I so appreciate your talent and the heart you back it up with. God Bless you always and I pray the people hear your message...God's message.
Dear JOHN LEGEND, you're standing out from the crowd cos your music actually delivers a massage, and an important one. thank you for being the 1% of decent artists from all the contemporary shit music that we have today.
Actually you can preach. Preach Jesus!! It's what the world needs. If we preached Jesus more. This world & people wouldn't be the way it is. Jesus is the answer to EVERYTHING. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙌
Wrong people preach Jesus, a lot of people my friend share the wonderful gospel , the ignorance and wickedness of the natural man has blocked the spiritual ears of many. The devil sits in the heart of the majority and the truth of the matter is although preaching the gospel is one solution listening to it is another . I just turned 18 and God almighty is the only one who can save his people, the people he brought out of slavery and gave the physical and spiritual power to overcome the worst of tribulation. We are the sons and daughters of Jacob descendants of Israel, God almighty sits in all our hearts but can we hear him beat. Love each other but above all Love God. God bless you In Jesus Name.
This song version makes song a lot better. I can feel strongness and the pain from John's voice. There's will be no one can do this acoustic version like John do. Keep inspire people, John 👏👏
I love your God given gift of music. I am praying for you and your family during this difficult time. Your music means so much to me and it always lifts me up and gives me hope. Thank you for all you do through your music and keep on keepin’ on. Much love and blessings.❤️🙏🙏❤️
I love this song John! when you do this live, I hear a choir backing you up, some pretty violin's, a faint sound of a guitar melodically! Love this song
It's so grounding to see so many of his videos begin with him sitting down at his piano and return to this setting many times! How refreshing after all the videos with fantasy images changing so quickly you can't even make out what's going on!
One of the most talented musicals in our world today and one of the most powerful songs. John Legend, thank you for continuing to write incredible, powerful music. We need this song in 2020 more than ever.
this song definitely speaks to my heart concerning issues of today - all around...so much violence on top of everything else... somehow, I think we all must do something - be it little ... be it much - we got to do something today for a better tomorrow! What kind of world will be left for our children and grandchildren and even their childrens?
You sitting at a piano and sharing your god given brilliance is the height of musical expression to me ❤ ur voice melts my anxiety..i fade into a beautiful stream of perfect notes and time stands still. If only for a moment. Cant help but close my eyes and listen with every part of my being.
This is a very sad song. Someone that you lost the early and passed away. It's a very sad song. I dedicated to the people that we lost in 2020. Kobe Bryant and his daughter nine others on there. Plane crash I dedicate this song. Kobe Bryant and his family prayers go out Thank you, John Legend.
Thank you very much! I,ve just known about your music just last week and I felt immediately in sintony with it! All of It helps me to connect with God and I feel that you are a great son of Him and a true believer. Thank you very much . God keeps on blessing your huge talent! Greetings from Italy.
Wow..... I wish I could hear that song ( acoustic version) all day.... Congratulations @johnlegend that song is amazing and beautiful ... I didn't realize how much I was in need of tha song. Thank you so much... :)
I Think This Is The Best Version: Lets Stop The Indifference Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say...Someone Would For You That Is How I Interpret This Powerfully Profound Message
Love John Legend. Too wise to just follow without question. I agree with him totally, no one should just follow political & religious movements no matter where they lead. He's wonderful, I will never forget John.
His message is ACTION...not JUST preach, pray, talk. "I can't just sit and hope, I can't just sit and pray, I can't just preach." "Heaven knows, I'm not helpless. But, what can I do? Can't see the use in me crying if I'm not even trying to make the change I want to see. I can't just sit and hold back. I can't just sit and pray...."
When I hear this song, I want to break down cuz we lost so many people. In 2020 It's been a rough year already is We almost in the third month 2020 So many people have passed away. Already this song is Very sad, this is goes out to the people that passed away. I love this song John Legend.

Every day I wake and
Everything is broken
Turnin' off my phone just to get out of bed
Get home every evening
And history's repeating
Turning off my phone 'cause it's hurting my chest
Aye
And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah
But what can I do?
I can't see the use in me crying
If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see
I can't sit and hope, I
Can't just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
And though I do believe
I can't just preach, baby, preach
Whoa, oh
I can't just preach, baby, preach
All I hear is voices
Everybody's talking
Nothing real is happening, 'cause nothing is new
Now when all is tragic
And I just feel sedated
Why do I feel numb? Is that all I can do? Yeah
And heaven knows I'm not helpless, yeah
But I'm only human
I can't see the use in me crying
If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see
I can't sit and hope, I
Can't just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
Falling to my knees
And though I do believe (though I do believe)
I can't just preach, baby, preach
Whoa, oh
I can't just preach, baby, preach
And heaven knows I'm not helpless
But what can I do? Yea
Can't see the use in me crying
If I'm not even tryna make the change I wanna see
I can't sit and hope, I
Can't just sit and pray, that
I can find a love, when
All I see is pain
I try to do the things, I
Say that I believe (I do believe)
I can't just preach, baby, preach
Whoa, oh
I can't just preach, baby, preach
Whoa, oh
I can't just preach, baby, preach
Fallin' to my knees
And though I do believe
I can't just preach, baby, preach
*Preach* teehehe see what i did there 😎

John should record a whole acoustic album. That would be amazing
I like this version better than the original one. 🤔❤️
Same, I like the songs played with real instruments more than the electronic ones.
Me, too. It’s more stripped down and soulful. Though the visuals in the music video are VERY powerful.
John, I'm more your fan! I'm here from Brazil São Paulo, but always with you! I love your music 😍
Maravilhoso. Essa versão ficou lindíssima, estou arrepiada👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏...🎹🎼💛
