A beaten woman On her hands and knees Working Las Vegas She’s never really home So her kids don’t recognize her anymore Yeah she still has dreams But she’s broke on hope So, you sell it for a dollar Preacher, your words are hollow to me Sacrificed just for the need to be alive Now here’s a man With shaking hands on the street Looking for help Yeah he’s worked so hard But nothing seems to go his way And now he’s down The only hand that’s reaching out is yours To point out the forsaken Preacher, your words are hollow to me Preacher, your words are hollow to me Sacrificed just for the need to be alive
