Lyrics
Driving through Nashville in the middle of the night
Saw a women scared she was dying
She sat there mannerly by the side of the road
Screaming like foxes but was so calm
What am I to do?
She’s fighting off demons
But I am too
Jesus help us stand up for the poor
Jesus help us stand up for the poor
Billions of dollars from Broadway and on
But men lie half dead on the streets
Homeless and forgotten, broken, and weak
While famous make millions from product and song all the addicts and tortured belong outside holy congregations
They're preferred to be gone
Jesus help us stand up for the poor
Jesus help us stand up for the poor
