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
