On a Corner in Memphis (在孟菲斯的角落里) - Todd Agnew[00:00:00]

Written by：Todd Agnew[00:00:01]

Saturday on Beale St. with the drunk and the searching[00:00:13]

I hear an old man playing guitar[00:00:19]

I can't make out what he's saying[00:00:26]

But I can tell you that he's suffered[00:00:29]

And that he means every word from the bottom[00:00:32]

Of what's left of his heart[00:00:36]

Tonight[00:00:42]

A few hours later I slip into church[00:00:52]

Singing songs about saving grace[00:00:59]

One guy's nodding off and another hates to be here[00:01:05]

We all mouth the words to save face[00:01:11]

It's 11:15 on Sunday morning[00:01:17]

And I wish I was[00:01:24]

On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man[00:01:31]

Singing out his sorrows laying down his pride[00:01:38]

He's telling me his story or at least his side[00:01:44]

No need to pretend and nowhere to hide[00:01:50]

'Cause we are all broken here and we are all ashamed[00:01:58]

I couldn't fool you if I wanted to[00:02:11]

Our stories are too much the same[00:02:18]

And what about this Jesus[00:02:24]

They say he drank with the poor the blind and the lame[00:02:30]

Do you think he'd like the songs that we sing[00:02:38]

Or would he feel the same as I do[00:02:44]

What if Sunday school was on Saturday night[00:02:53]

On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man[00:03:01]

Singing out his sorrows laying down his pride[00:03:07]

He's telling me his story or at least his side[00:03:13]

With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide[00:03:19]

On a corner in Memphis[00:03:24]

What if their heart-breaking cries of pain[00:03:50]

Are the first hymns of tomorrow's saints[00:03:55]

On a corner in Memphis we're singing with the old man[00:04:02]

Crying for his sorrows and laying down our pride[00:04:09]

He's telling us our story or at least his side[00:04:15]

With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide[00:04:21]

On a corner in Memphis[00:04:26]

Singing out our sorrows[00:04:33]

He's telling us our story[00:04:38]

With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide[00:04:44]

On a corner in Memphis[00:04:53]
