They try to silence my voice,
They try to hold me down.
But I'm still screaming out.
I'm still screaming out.
"You'd better pray!".

They preach sermons but I still don't know.
The fanatical forerunner.
I prepare the way.
I speak a message of truth.
Take heed - I mean what I say.
You'd better pray.

Because any fool can pray just to get recognized by someone else.
The secret life of fanatics,
They can stand on their own,
Because they recognize the church doors stay closed.
They call me pathetic,
Cause I can stand on my own.
I speak revivalist.
I got this fire shut up in my bones.

I'm not just one man -
All heaven stands with me.
I've got a message for the world: it's not just us,
