Somebody Like Me

The congregation parted like the Red Sea

When that old drunk stumbled in down the aisle

And took a seat

Right in the middle of Amazing Grace

He could feel the judgment they were passing

Thought to himself "Ain't that just how some folks acting"

He'd rather be on the street than in this place

And with tears on his face

You'd think somebody would put their arm around him

You'd think somebody would hit a knee

Pull him in, say a prayer

That's what I'm talking 'bout right there

You'd think somebody would practice what they're preachin'

Well, I wonder who that somebody could be

Prob'ly somebody like me

Well, he's got problems nobody wants a part of

When he got up and slipped out nobody stood up

They don't wanna make a scene

So they let him walk outta there without a prayer

You'd think somebody would do something different

You'd think somebody would go against the grain

Be the one to run him down

Bring him back and turn him around

You'd think somebody would wanna make a difference

Well, well I wonder who that somebody could be

Prob'ly somebody like me

Oh can I get a witness

Oh yeah

You'd think somebody would put their arm around him

You'd think somebody would hit a knee now

Pull him in, say a prayer yeah

You'd think somebody would put their arm around him

You'd think somebody would hit a knee

Pull him in, say a prayer

That's what I'm talking 'bout right there

You'd think somebody would wanna make a difference

Well, I wonder who that somebody could be

Prob'ly somebody like me
