At a church service the other day
The preacher held a bible high above his head
See this little black book I hold firmly in my hand
Years ago it was found
On a lonely street in the wrong part of town
This little black book

The cover was thin and worn
The pages were frayed and some were even torn
The binding had come loose from years of abuse

See this little black book reminds me of my life
When I was homeless for a time
And depended heavily on a bottle of red wine
This little black book

My face was thin and worn
My clothes were frayed and some even torn
My faith had torn loose from years of abuse
From years of abuse

The cover was thin and worn
The pages were frayed and some were even torn
The binding had come loose from years of abuse

He held the bible high above his head
This little black book I hold firmly in my hand
It has changed my life and made me a better man

I pray from it every day
For the lonely people
In the wrong part of town
On the lonely street three years ago it was found
On the lonely street where it was found
This little black book
