Jack of all trade
Master of everything
Lived a life with a spice
For the party he brings
He could out-pray the Pope
More junk, more dope
He was my missin' link
Pour him another drink
He was always there
To hear the church-bells ringing
Front row, right pew
So that he could be seen
I was with him through all of this
But a few things that he missed
He didn't teach me a dad gone thing
But how to sing
He charmed all the ladies
They would watch his show
He made art from his heart
He could make a tear flow
He could out-play the devil
Out-smart him too
If you would hear him croon his tune
He would blow your mind too
He was always there
To hear the church-bells ringing
Front row, right pew
They might call him to do his thing
He spun around in the pulpit
Flashin' a diamond ring
He didn't teach me a dad gone thing
But how to sing
He charmed all the ladies
They would watch his show
He was smart, he was sharp
But didn't wanna let go
He could out-play the devil
But why did he play me?
I stood right in front of his stage
But still I was hard to see
He was always there
To hear the church-bells ringing
Front row, right pew
So that he could be seen
He would trade his only son
For the life that he could get
So the son went to the father's church
Stepped into the pulpit
Laying his head back, and opened his mouth
The church jumped up like spring
You didn't teach me a dad gone thing
But how to sing
And I won't sing my song
(Heavenly Father)
Sing my song
(Heavenly Father)
Heavenly Father
(Heavenly Father)
Can you hear my plea?
(Heavenly Father)
Heavenly Father, now, now, yeah
(Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father)
Hey now, Heavenly Father
(Heavenly Father)
Can you hear my song?
(Heavenly Father)
Can you hear my song?

Gregory Porter è un cantante e compositore di jazz statunitense nato a Los Angeles, California, nel 1973. Dopo aver studiato al prestigioso Berklee College of Music, Porter ha iniziato la sua carriera musicale come musicista di sessione prima di emergere come artista solista negli anni 2010. Il suo stile vocale profondo e ricco, influenzato da artisti come Nat King Cole e Billie Holiday, lo ha rapidamente consacrato come una delle voci più importanti del jazz contemporaneo. Porter è noto per le sue performance emozionanti e i testi poetici che esplorano temi di amore, perdita, speranza e spiritualità. Tra i suoi album più apprezzati figurano "Liquid Spirit" (2013), vincitore del Grammy Award per il miglior album di jazz vocale, e "Take Me to the Alley" (2016).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
