Shakin' Stevens — To Spread the Word

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
