lyrics

(Kesho! Kesho!)

You found me by the speakers at half four
You didn't dance, you waited till I did
You said my name and I have heard it all my life
And never once the way you said it then

Five in the morning (in the morning)
Everybody's honest or asleep
You are neither, you are looking at me
Like a thing you plan to keep

Say my name at five
(at five, at five)
Everything before the sun is true
Say my name at five
And I will still be standing here for you

The church I grew up in had a room like this
Same hands up, same eyes closed, same air
Mama would say I traded God for noise
And you were standing in the middle of it there

(a cappella, layered)
Say it again... say it again...
(HANDS, CLAPS, DROP)

Say my name at five
(at five, at five)
Everything before the sun is true
Say my name at five
And I will still be standing here for you

(Kesho...)
