To Spread the Word Songtext
von Shakin’ Stevens

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
