People who ride the daily train, they all try so hard
To keep food on the table an’ the grass mowed in the yard
They believe in God and country an’ their religion too
Try an’ do the best they can, somehow fit into the plan

          But we sang amazing grace by the river’s edge
          Where the waterfall pours freely
          Down from heaven’s ledge
          Between tears and the laughter
          Somethin’ eased the pain
          And all we did was call the right name

We often stayed up most the night and slept on past noon
Seldom did much right, lived way outside the zone
We lost our faith long ago an’ our religion too
Ignored most every ban, couldn’t fit in any plan

          But we sang amazing grace by the river’s edge
          Where the waterfall pours freely
          Down from heaven’s ledge
          Between tears and the laughter
          Somethin’ eased the pain
          And all we did was call the right name

          Yeah, we sang amazing grace by the river’s edge
          Where the waterfall pours freely
          Down from heaven’s ledge
          Between tears and the laughter
          Somethin’ eased the pain
          And all we did was call the right name
