Somebody Like Me
by The Martins

Album: New Day

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 passin'
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
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout right there
You'd think somebody
Would practice what they're preaching
Well, I wonder who
That somebody could 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 wanna make a scene
They let him walk out of there
Ooh, without a prayer

You'd think somebody
Would so 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 want to make a difference
Well, I wonder who
That somebody could be
Probably somebody like me

Oh, can I get a witness
(Somebody, somebody)
Ooh-ooh...

Ooh, 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'd think somebody
Would want to make a difference
Well, I wonder who
That somebody could be
Probably somebody like me

Somebody, somebody
I wonder who
That somebody could be
Probably somebody like me
Somebody like me
