He's got a big gold ring what says "jesus saves"

And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day

When he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things

After the big boss said, "you best be on your way"

Oh yeh

So this life is sacrifice

Oh yeh

Jumping trains just to survive

Well, his wife and kid 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

Thinking if he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?

Yeh,

So this life is sacrificed

Oh yeh

To a strangers bottom line

Yeh

I seen the light,... uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I's scared alive,...

Near to death,... uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I seen the light,... scared alive

Yeh,

So this life is sacrificed

Oh yeh

They can't say I never tried

Yeh

I seen the light,... uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I's scared alive,...

Near to death,... uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

I seen the light.

Scared alive,...... uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh

Near to death

Here to die.

Scared alive.

Near to death.

Hear to die.

Scared alive.
