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
