Amazing Grace

She was known around the town As the girl with a troubled soul She found her joy in men Who left before the morn Through pain she found her pleasure From the men who came to call They say her name was Grace With a story to share for all Misery paid a visit Many times throughout her life No family could she speak of No friends were ever in sight The mindset she would live by To keep someone around Ignore her soul and use The talent she had found She’d wonder the streets and buildings All through the day and night To find a little comfort And hide her hurt and strife Married men or single No preference just a lay To bring a smile to her face Who could resist the play They say she was amazing The best they ever had Things she would do to them Would shame the soul of a man Yet still they would come running Heed the beckon call A place for them at Grace’s Good times were had by all Nothing could ever stop her From the life she chose to live For laying on her back Was her triumph over sin Until one fateful day When life for her would end One man she thought she trusted Would end the sin within Once a beauty now a legend Her story told through town Amazing Grace’s legacy Will live through love she found How sweet the sound of her name Would flow through many tongues Was lost in a world of loneliness Now found with God above
