Sidewalk Prayer

Verse 1

Dirt

Under nails

Blackened bread on a chipped plate

Forgive us

Our debts

As we forget the ones who owe us a dime

Our daily crust

Heavy water

The sink is leaking in the hall

Lead us

Far from the ditch

Far from the dog with the glass eye

Chorus

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

On the sidewalk

On the gravel

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

Deliver us from the bad news

Deliver us from the rust

Verse 2

Hollow

Be Thy name

Written in chalk on a brick wall

Power

Glory

Forever and a day in the rain

Temptation

Is a copper wire

Sparking in a bucket of cold oil

Amen

It is finished

The cat is sleeping on the stove

Chorus

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

On the sidewalk

On the gravel

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

Deliver us from the bad news

Deliver us from the rust

Bridge

Earth

Heaven

Same mud on the same boots

Thine is the power

Thine is the glory

Thine is the rattling cage

Thine is the hunger

Thine is the heavy hand

Thine is the empty pocket

Chorus

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

On the sidewalk

On the gravel

Thy kingdom come

Thy will be done

Deliver us from the bad news

Deliver us from the rust

Outro

The kingdom

The power

The glory

Amen

Amen

Amen

Just leave the light on

Amen
