Shakin' Stevens - To Spread The Word Lyrics

They came from miles around, yeah
Across the land
To feel the power of his
Mighty hand
For six days a week they toiled for
Their daily bread
But on that seventh day they
Played instead

Can't live by bread alone
We're more than flesh and bone
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word

Then on that day they lay their
Burden down
That's when they lost those heavy
Chains that bound

Seeking for the meaning for that
Daily grind
And save the sinners of all
All mankind

Can't live by bread alone
We're more than flesh and bone
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word

At times of fear and hunger
They kept the faith
They looked up to their maker
To keep them safe

They shamed the devil at his
Every test
Keeping the faith till their
Eternal rest

Can't live by bread alone
We're more than flesh and bone

Spreading the word
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word

We can't live by bread alone
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word
Spread the word
