Some folks say he's coming, others say he can't
Some say he's a different color, some use a different name
No matter what they say, well, it all comes out the same
Who's leading the children? Who's taking them home?
Who's leading the sheep to the promised land? Are they left to roam?
Well, the real Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Please stand up, I need him
Well, the real Jesus
Please stand up, I need him
There's a long hat in New York City
Claiming to be the sun
There's a street rebound
There's a bubble in the midwest
Trying that it will be done
All I can do is shake my head
Answer me, anyone
Who's leading the children?
Who's taking them home?
Who's leading the sheep to the promised land?
Are they left to roam?
Well, the real Jesus
Please stand up, I need him
Well, the real Jesus
Please stand up, I need him
I need him in the darkness
To be my guiding light
I'm just a woman, yes, I am
I need his love to stay
Because I do believe
Oh, I truly do believe
I believe, believe
Oh, I truly do believe
Will the real Jesus
Please stand up, I need him
Will the real Jesus
Please stand up
I need him
Oh, I need you, Jesus
Yeah
