Mister Jimmy

He wakes up in the morning Underneath the overpass He prays this day before him Will be better than the last This too shall pass Digs into a knapsack Searching for his one clean shirt Packs up on his old bike And he peddles down to church Smiles hide the hurt Lift your hands up, lift your hands up Jimmy Lift your hands up, Jimmy lift your hands up Lift your hands up, lift your hands up children Lift your hands up, children lift your hands up The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, children Living off the radar Some look through him like a ghost They see he's not like they are But he has more than most He still has hope A life once ordinary He just made a few wrong turns Got too close to the fire And Jimmy, he got burned Life lessons learned Lift your hands up, lift your hands up Jimmy Lift your hands up, Jimmy lift your hands up Lift your hands up, lift your hands up children Lift your hands up, children lift your hands up The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, children Walk a mile in his shoes If you want to understand Only Jesus knows his heart The true measure of the man Part of God's plan If you see Mister Jimmy Won't you stop and say hello You might have something in common You never know We all travel the same road Lift your hands up, lift your hands up Jimmy Lift your hands up, Jimmy lift your hands up Lift your hands up, lift your hands up children Lift your hands up, children lift your hands up The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, children ©2017.
