That congregation parted like the red sea
When that old drunk stumbled in down the aisle and took seat
Right in the middle of amazing grace

He could feel the judgment that they were passing
Thought to himself, ain't that just like a bunch of Baptists
He'd rather be on the street than in this place, 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
You think somebody would practice what they're preaching
I wonder who that somebody might be

Probably 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 want to make a scene so they let him walk out of 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 think somebody would want to make a difference
I wonder who that somebody might be

Probably somebody like me
