Mighty Good Leader Lyrics
Flooded by an ocean
Of some mixed emotions
They got you down again
Pride and passion
Physical attraction
Whatever thing you're in
These temptations
Causing you frustrations
What you need is a friend
Someone who loves you
Who is above you
Take away all your sin
CHORUS
Help is on the way
Help is on the way
A mighty good leader is on the way
He's the only one gonna come to save the day
It's all right, yeah, uh-huh, it's OK
'Cause a mighty good leader is on the way
Now this someone
Knows where you come from
Doesn't care where you've been
He can put back
Pieces that you lack
Make you whole again
CHORUS

Song Description:
"My cousin Andrew said 'Man, I have a song for you. Look at this, the lyrics from 'Mighty Good Leader.' It's a black spiritual song.' I thought it was cool and I thought it would be a great name for a rock song. We started goofing off with Tyler again and he came up with that hook, the guitar hook and I actually think Tyler wrote the melody to it. The song was about a great beat, a good guitar hook and a message that we got a mighty good leader that's coming again. So it kind of is cool nod to that spiritual that we found in this book." - Mark Stuart (Audio Adrenaline)
