With My Maker I Am One Songtext

von Eric Bibb

I am the preacher – shoutin' out the news
I am the juke stomper – playin' the blues
I am the Holy Roller – givin' Jesus my cares
I am the candy man – pushin' my wares
I am the cowboy – brandin' my steers
I am the Cherokee brave – on the Trail Of Tears
I am the master – whip in my hand
I am the slave – from a distant land
After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One
I am the Okie – on a dusty road
I am the banker – with the tailor-made clothes
I am the hobo – in a cold boxcar
I am the railroad baron – with the long cigar
I am the ghetto brother – ‘bout to lose his lease
I am the landlord – cuttin' of the heat
I am the prisoner – playin' cards
I am the warden – lokkin' out on the yard
After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One
I am the doctor – savin' the sick
I am the junkie – gravin' a fix
I am the homeless child – on streets so mean
I am the movie star – on the silver screen
I am the champion – on the finish line
I am the beggar – holdin' up the sign
I am the rookie – tryin' to make the Hall Òf Fame
I am the gangster – fixin' the game
After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One
After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One
