50,000 Watts Lyrics by Rosanne Cash

The River & The Thread

2014

[Verse 1]
It's a hard road, but it fits your shoes
Son of rhythm, brother of the blues
The sound of darkness, the pull of the yoke
Everything is broken and painted in smoke
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a light on Sunday, a new old desire
The sound of the whistle 'cross radio wires
Love in your future, I'll wait for you there
With 50,000 watts of common prayer
[Chorus]
50,000 watts of common prayer
50,000 watts of common prayer
[Verse 2]
We'll be who we are and not who we were
A sister to him, a brother to her
We'll live like kings without any sin
Redemption will come, just tune it on in
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a light on Sunday, a new old desire
The sound of the whistle 'cross radio wires
Love in your future, I'll wait for you there
With 50,000 watts of common prayer
[Chorus]
50,000 watts of common prayer
Common prayer
50,000 watts of common prayer
My common prayer
Your common prayer
50,000 watts of common prayer
