Rez Band - Stark/spare lyrics

rate me

Stark/spare and barely there

The ghetto moves beyond the knowledge

Or even consideration

Of the upper-middle riddles

That just don't care

Stark/spare an' tell me who cares

Slumming ain't the answer

To the cancer poverty

That so many of the poor

Slip into degree

Jesus walked among them

Pausing to refresh

Finally giving to the point of blood

To share their emptiness

Mark and Teresa

Godspeed to you

Suffering in love

When you don't have too

And God have mercy

On the rest of us to

'Cause when we shut out the poor

Lord, we're shutting out you

Jesus walked among them

Pausing to refresh

Finally giving to the point of blood

To share their emptiness

And we must walk among them

For we can do no less

Than what the Saviour taught us

By his life and by his death

For the truth is on our tables

The crumbs are on our floors

We must give while we are able

Both Lazarus and our judge are at the door
