Street corner serenade
\n As cars drive by
\n And people move
\n Coming to and fro
\n Nobody listening
\n To the sidewalk poet <\/p>\n
King of the concrete
\n Pawn shop guitar
\n Asking the world
\n To love one another
\n He sings in vain
\n To the midday traffic <\/p>\n
A heart full of pain
\n Fire in his hands
\n Seeking the lamb
\n The one in ninety-nine
\n He waits with God
\n In His open-air church <\/p>\n
He works in the field
\n From morning to night
\n Plowing concrete
\n Planting the seed of love
\n Sunshine or rain
\n He\u2019s a sidewalk prophet <\/p>\n
Lord, bless the hands
\n Of the street corner priest
\n Living belief
\n Working without a net
\n Giving it all
\n To sing the Good News <\/p>\n
