ALL WE DID
[ country-folk; co-written by Daniel Muhammad ]


          People who ride the daily train
          They all try so hard
          To keep food on the table
          An’ the grass mowed in the yard
          They believe in God and country
          An' their religion too
          Try an’ do the best they can
          Somehow fit into the plan

          But we sang amazing grace by the river’s edge
          Where the waterfall flows freely
          Down from heaven’s ledge
          Between tears and the laughter
          Somethin’ eased the pain
          And all we did was call the right name

          We often stayed up most the night
          And slept on past noon
          Seldom did much right
          Lived way outside the zone
          We lost our faith long ago
          An' our religion too
          Ignored most every ban
          Couldn't fit in any plan

          But we sang amazing grace by the river’s edge
          Where the waterfall flows freely
          Down from heaven’s ledge
          Between tears and the laughter
          Somethin’ eased the pain
          And all we did was call the right name

          Yeah, we sang amazing grace by the river’s edge
          Where the waterfall flows freely
          Down from heaven’s ledge
          Between tears and the laughter
          Somethin’ eased the pain
          And all we did was call the right name
          All we did was call the right name
