That Someone Else

Brother James was standing up in church the other day
While all the good parishioners fell to their knees to pray
He works sixty hours laying carpet and setting tile
I’ll bet the Lord’s forgiving if he stands up for a while 

CHORUS:

Just ‘cause folks look different don’t mean they’re not the same
We all find our balance between pleasure and the pain
Before you judge your neighbor take a hard look at yourself
If not for God’s good grace you just might be that someone else 

Crazy Joe’s a sight to see. He’s used to funny looks
His body’s tattooed neck to toe just like a comic book
The Joker on one shoulder, the other Superman
He’s got a Buddha on his belly and spiders on his hands 

CHORUS:

But just ‘cause folks look different don’t mean their not the same
There’s time for celebration and there’s a time to feel ashamed
Before you judge your neighbor take a hard look at yourself
If not for God’s good grace you just might be that someone else

BRIDGE:

Now kids seem so much wilder then back when we were young
All dressed in black, into rap, a spike right through the tongue
If you could walk a modern mile up in their platform shoes
You’d see what they’re dealing with is just good ole fashioned blues 

REPEAT CHORUS:

Just ‘cause folks look different don’t mean they’re not the same
We all find our way out in the sunshine and the rain
Before you judge your neighbor take a hard look at yourself
If not for God’s good grace you just might be that someone else
In some stranger’s watchful eyes, we are that someone else
