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 a 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' asleep 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

Oh yeah...

I've seen the light

Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...

I'm scared of life

Near to death

Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...

I've seen the light

Scared of life

Yeah...

So this life is sacrifice

Oh yeah...

Was a dream that had to die

Oh yeah...

I've seen the light

Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...

And I'm scared of life

Near to death

Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohh ohh ohhhh...

I've seen the light

Scared of life

Ohh ohh ohhh... Ohhhhhh Ohhh..

And I'm near to death

Here to die

Scared of life

Near to death

Here to die

Scared of life...
