He's got a big gold ring which says "Jesus saves"
And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day
Where he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things
After the big boss said you'd best be on your way
Oh yeah...
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah...
Jumping trains just to survive
Well, his wife and kids are sleeping but he's still awake
On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills unpaid
Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate
Thinkin if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
Yeah...
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah...
To a stranger's bottom line
Yeah...
I seen the light... Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
I's scared alive
Yeah...
I seen the light... Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
Scared alive
Yeah...
So this life is sacrifice
Oh yeah...
The can't say I never tried
Oh yeah...
I seen the light... Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
I's scared alive
Near to death... Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...
I've seen the light
Scared alive Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohhhhhh Ohhh..
Near to death
Here to die
Scared alive
Near to death
Here to die
Scared alive
