Somebody, Please

Is it true what they say about believers?
Always skinnin' their knees
Is it true what they say about deceivers?
Always gettin' the grease

Tell me something that means what it means
Tell me somebody, please

If I write me a letter to the gov'nor
Will he ever give my reprieve?
If I reach out a hand for my brother
Will he reach one back for me?

Give me someone that is what they seem
Give me somebody, please

There ain't no use in hiding
This heart don't come off my sleeve
If there's saints runnin' loose in the wild, dear
I heard somewhere they're yours for free

Show me somewhere that's deep as the sea
Show me somebody, please
Show me somewhere that's deep as the sea
Show me somebody, please
