Verse 1
People pass right by that man
On the street every day
They pretend they don't see him
Turn and look the other way
Oh Lord, people's hearts have waxed cold
Verse 2
It shouldn't surprise me
Cause I believe we're living in the last days
It's still pretty scary
How the world just throws people away
The way it is, it is what was foretold
Chorus 1
If not for the grace of God
You could have been in his shoes
Begging with a sign
Sleeping under the Daily News
Just a poor, wretched soul
Singing those sidewalk beggar's blues
Verse 3
Sometimes, I wonder
What could have brought him to this state
Does he think he's no longer worth saving?
Has he lost all of his faith?
Oh Lord, have mercy on his soul
Chorus 1
If not for the grace of God
You could have been in his shoes
Begging with a sign
Sleeping under the Daily News
Just a poor, wretched soul
Singing those sidewalk beggar's blues
Bridge
Meanwhile, some preacher got a sermon
On how to live your best life
Goes home to a multi-million dollar mansion
And his pretty little wife
Preacher, I wonder how many people
All that money could feed
What if a so-called man of God
Actually helped people in need
You might ask yourself
Why do I even care
Let me tell you
Chorus 2
If not for the grace of God
I could be in his shoes
Begging with a sign
Sleeping under the Daily News
Just a poor, wretched soul
Singing those sidewalk beggar's blues
Sidewalk beggar's blues
