Lyrics

What the Sidewalks Say
Music & lyrics by Robert Coleman Trussell
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

As I was out walking this concrete town
My eyes started wandering all over the ground
I saw last night's sorrow & tomorrow's pain
Washing down the gutter in a cold hard rain

Cop on the corner walking his beat
Gives thanks each morning for both of his feet
As he steps on the cracks and a message in paint
Put there in the darkness by a hungry saint

Trust Jesus, that's what the sidewalks say
Trust Jesus, he'll love you every day
Trust Jesus and he'll show you the way
Trust Jesus, that's what the sidewalks say

Where will you be when the songs are all sung
And every bright star burns hot as the sun
And the sky is not black and the sky is not blue
Do you think there'll be a place for you

Where will you be when the words are all said
And they run out of prayers
For the quick and the dead
And all the wise men fall gasping for air
And you're left with nothing
But a hungry man's stare

You trust Jesus, that's what the sidewalks say

Now what would you do if you were Jesus above
If you were the one in charge of handing out love
To the millions of souls scrambling at your feet
Begging for mercy from the judgement seat

Would you forgive pleasure
Would you forgive pain
Would you forgive the ones
Who took your name in vain
Would you forgive the ones who believed in you
And put your name on the pavement
In yellow and blue

Trust Jesus, that's what the sidewalks say
