Sunday School To Broadway

Oh she used to stand and clap her hands and sing Amazing Grace While the tears of childhood innocence were streaming down her face Mama prayed at night and raised her right and thought she knew her way But it's a long long way from Sunday School to where she's at today It's a long long way from Sunday School to Broadway She's a long way from the girl she used to be When you sing the city songs it's hard to find your way back home And it's a long long way from Sunday School to Broa-oa-oadway Sunday evenings spent in the gospel tent down on her bended knee Where she gave her soul to Jesus and he set her spirit free But her body longed for city life and she couldn't stay at home And it's a long long way from Sunday School to New York nights alone It's a long long way from Sunday School to Broadway She's a long way from the girl she used to be When you sing the city songs it's hard to find your way back home And it's a long long way from Sunday School to Broa-oa-oadway Then her eyes grew bright in the cool dark night and a halo framed her face And a passer-by swore he heard her cry, can you hear Amazing Gra-ace Did you see the man who took her life as she walked the New York streets And it's a long long way from Broadway till the place at the Master's feet It's a long long way from Sunday School to Broadway She's a long way from the girl she used to be When you sing the city songs it's hard to find your way back home And it's a long long way from Sunday School to Broa-oa-oadway It's a long long way from Sunday School to Broadway She's a long way from the girl she used to be When you sing the city songs it's hard to find you
