Saint Ferdinand
by Lauren Daigle, Jon Batiste, Natalie Hemby

Album: Lauren Daigle

Verse 1
They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am
They said the 'spirits 'are strong, but 'I got 'em to bend
Oh, life 'gave me lessons that I still question
Oh, they said I wouldn't last long, but here I am

Chorus
Oh, St. Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds played
St. Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These treats may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Post-Chorus
Oh, no no

Verse 2
They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong
But I know there's a purpose in the struggle when it all goes wrong
Oh, 'cause as he smiles on the streetlights instead of chaos in the night
They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong

Chorus
Oh, St. Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds played
St. Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These treats may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Post-Chorus
Oh, no no
You can't keep me away

Bridge
Baby, I (Baby, I) loved you (Loved you) more than you loved me
Maybe life (Maybe life) got away (Got away) of bringin' you to your knees

Chorus
Oh, St. Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds played
St. Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These treats may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change, oh

Outro
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away
Oh, no on
You can't keep me away
