Apron Full Of Stains lyrics

She walks to the table with an apron full of stains and asks, `Hey sir, what can I get for you today?`
Should I be polite and make nice conversation but the foods no good, she doesn`t seem to even notice me here.
Her shoulder slump to see her tear stained eyes and back through the double swinging doors serving pies was not her goal in life.
I leave a tip like I think Jesus would and smile, `Thanks alot, have a nice day` and I am on my way.
Jesus what would you do? Can you teach me how to love like you?

Chorus:
I wanna give you everything, but I have nothing of my own at all.
And if I give what I have not got will you fill me up and make me whole?

I see him sitting by the side of the building near the street side.
He`s got a sign saying I will work for food. He looks up with his glazed over eyes and says, `How about a dollar for a Veteran, a fellow American?`
Empty stomach, empty mind, empty soul. Have I got the time to feed him a little broken bread.
Do I toss up a prayer as I walk on by? Give him a tract and a weak faked smile or do I take the time to show him a little love?
Don`t feel like I got anything to give, so I guess I got nothing to lose.

Chorus:
I wanna give you everything, but I have nothing of my own at all.
And if I give what I have not got will you fill me up and make me whole?

I come back a couple weeks later and see the same apron, same stains, same split-end hair pulled back.
She comes near and says, `Hey mister your smile picked me up the other day just thought I would say thanks.`
And I dont know why it takes all of my effort to try.

Chorus:
I wanna give you everything, but I have nothing of my own at all.
And if I give what I have not got will you fill me up and make me whole? Make me whole.

She walks to the table with an apron full of stains and asks, `Hey sir, what can I get for you today?`
