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
