With My Maker I Am One

I am the preacher – shoutin’ out the news

I am the juke stomper – playin’ the blues

I am the Holy Roller – givin’ Jesus my cares

I am the candy man – pushin’ my wares

I am the cowboy – brandin’ my steers

I am the Cherokee brave – on the Trail Of Tears

I am the master – whip in my hand

I am the slave – from a distant land

After all is said an’ done – with my Maker I am One

I am the Okie – on a dusty road

I am the banker – with the tailor-made clothes

I am the hobo – in a cold boxcar

I am the railroad baron – with the long cigar

I am the ghetto brother – ‘bout to lose his lease

I am the landlord – cuttin’ of the heat

I am the prisoner – playin’ cards

I am the warden – lokkin’ out on the yard

After all is said an’ done – with my Maker I am One

I am the doctor – savin’ the sick

I am the junkie – gravin’ a fix

I am the homeless child – on streets so mean

I am the movie star – on the silver screen

I am the champion – on the finish line

I am the beggar – holdin’ up the sign

I am the rookie – tryin’ to make the Hall Òf Fame

I am the gangster – fixin’ the game

After all is said an’ done – with my Maker I am One

After all is said an’ done – with my Maker I am One
