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
