"Child Of God" lyrics

"Child Of God"

Oh the kindergarten teacher
The defrocked preacher
Moving in down the block
The sidewalk resistor
The mister turned sister
Who's relatives are still in shock

Oh the country club lady
The refugee baby
Whose feet never have been shod
Every one of them
Every one of them
Every one of them is a
Child of God

The deep sea diver
The creepy truck driver
Asking if you're needing a ride
The middle aged Trekkie
The billionaire techie
Who's alligator shoes are untied

Oh the European nanny
Your 3rd cousin Fanny
Raised without sparing the rod
Every one of them
Every one of them
Every one of them
Is a child of God

Is a child of God
Is a child of God
That's what my momma always said to me
All across this land
Every person every woman and man
Every one of them is a child of God

The monk and the mall rat
The veteran of combat
Sand coming out of her ears
The snake oil salesman
The put-em-all-in-jails man
Who finally got a name for his fears

The overzealous tipper
The Alabama stripper
Saving up to live on Cape Cod
Every one of them
Every one of them
Every one of them
Is a child of God

Is a child of God
Is a child of God
That's what my momma always said to me
All across this land
Every person every woman and man
Every one of them
Is a child of God

Yeah the bald-faced liar
The overdue messiah
Who promised to be back in awhile
The Oklahoma poet trying not to blow it
Selling off her very last smile

Well you learn pretty fast
The role you been cast
We all wind up under the sod
Every one of them
Every one of them
Every one of them
Is a child of God

Is a child of God
Is a child of God
That's what my momma always said to me
All across this land
Every person every woman and man
Every one of them
Is a child of God

(Cross the land and sea
Everybody who has been or will be)
Every one of them is a child of God
