With My Maker I Am One

I am the preacher – shoutin' out the news I am the juke stomper – playin' the blues I am the Holy Roller – givin' Jesus my cares I am the candy man – pushin' my wares I am the cowboy – brandin' my steers I am the Cherokee brave – on the Trail Of Tears I am the master – whip in my hand I am the slave – from a distant land After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One I am the Okie – on a dusty road I am the banker – with the tailor-made clothes I am the hobo – in a cold boxcar I am the railroad baron – with the long cigar I am the ghetto brother – 'bout to lose his lease I am the landlord – cuttin' of the heat I am the prisoner – playin' cards I am the warden – lokkin' out on the yard After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One I am the doctor – savin' the sick I am the junkie – gravin' a fix I am the homeless child – on streets so mean I am the movie star – on the silver screen I am the champion – on the finish line I am the beggar – holdin' up the sign I am the rookie – tryin' to make the Hall Òf Fame I am the gangster – fixin' the game After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One After all is said an' done – with my Maker I am One
