lyrics

Some of us sinners / Some of us saints
Some of us between a rock and hard place
Some of us welcome / some of us not
Some of us the scapegoat / Some of us the mob
All of us guilty / then all of us free
A cup of joy poured out to our great relief
So when the abyss had us tied to the rails
Like a runaway train love never fails

Some say it’s crazy / some take offense
Some swear the law still demands recompense
Some shot the sheriff and the deputy too
Some heard the cock crow in the light of the moon
All are atoned for / the wicked made whole
The world’s scarlet letter / washed white as snow
When the albatross curse all the wind from our sails
We have no damns to give love never fails

A weapon will prosper
A levy will break
The heartbreaker gives you
More than you can take
The trouble in trusting
A savior not seen
You find out he don’t fail
When he don’t intervene
find out he don’t fail
When he don’t intervene

Some of us doubtful / some of us weak
Some are uncertain and still we believe
Some overcoming / some testify
There’s a righteousness in us that we can’t deny
Some hallelujah some blessed be
Some sing out in chains / some sing out free
Our dreams up in smoke beneath plunging nail
Punchline of the joke love never fails
