D
She was barely a
Em
teen and she was by herself
F#m
Em
With her parents drug ad dicted
and no one to help
D
Em
So the government stepped in
F#m
to get her connected
Em
And put her in some kind of home
to wish her well
D
Em
But people just want to play
the good Samaritan
F#m
Em
Don't want to deal with her anger
and her stubbornness
D
Em
Like they didn't expect
it to be difficult
F#m
Em
So instead of being understood
she's left alone
D
As she gets passed around
Em
from shelter home to shelter home
F#m
Cause everybody else
Fm
just wants to be comfortable
D
Em
And do good but without any troubles
F#m
Till a few years pass
Fm
and again she's on her own
D
She turns 18
Em
and finds a young man to live with
F#m
A few more months
Em
And she finds out she's pregnant
D
And the young man thought
Em
that he loved her
Until she said that
F#m
And the one dude she thought
Em
she could count on
Is barely present
D
Em
Now she's treated like a statistic
F#m
Em
At work, at the hospital, at church
Any instance
D
Instead of being treated
Em
like the precious gem she is
F#m
She's treated like she needs
Em
to be told how to live
D
They call her irresponsible,
Em
foolish, wicked
F#m
Like they understand
Fm
the circumstances that she lived in
D
Em
But I call her strong, beautiful, and gifted
F#m
Cause it takes true strength
Fm
to follow through and stay committed
D
To race and her kin,
Em
and she's never been so blessed
F#m
Em
Cause it's the first true love
that she's experienced
D
A love with such power,
Em
it'll change you in an instant
F#m
A love that everyone should know,
Em
because we give it
Bm
We all think we know how to live

He was just a young man,
Em
trying to find value and worth
F#m
His parents were the pastors,
Em
he was raised in a church
D
His expectations were greatness
Em
since the day of his birth
F#m
But I swear the day he sinned,
Em
might as well as shake the earth
D
He be came the hot topic
Em
in the school noise
F#m
People talking like he's supposed
Em
to be a good boy
D
Em
Like one sin means he's not anymore
F#m
Just one choice can take away
Em
the fact he ever had a voice
D
He doesn't need to be told
Em
that he's wrong
when he knows it
F#m
He doesn't need to be told
Fm
he's a failure and a hypocrite
D
You don't need to point out
Em
that he has double standards
F#m
Fm
When you can also point to anyone else
that surrounds him
D
That ain't the point of church,
Em
that ain't the point of Jesus
F#m
Em
Outside and inside the church
they all treat him
D
Like he ain't a real person,
Em
like he should never sin
F#m
And when they find out he does,
Em
they're sure to make a big deal of it
D
Em
Like sin ain't the most common thing
we all dealing with
F#m
So the young man continues
Em
without feeling forgiven
D
Cause the pride of human nature
Em
doesn't like to forget it
F#m
So he only turns to Jesus now,
Em
and never humans
D
Cause he's afraid that they'll
Em
go digging through his dirt
F#m
Instead of caring for the person
Em
that he is first
D
All they see is hypocrisy
Em
and look past him
F#m
It's all pride and who sins less
Em

look what we've created

Cause we are not willing
Em
to understand other situations
D

One command, love your neighbor
as you love yourself

Whether or not they got the same
books on their shelves

If you see someone in need,
don't wait for someone else

Step up, share your love,

share your hope and your wealth
Em
The one thing that's wrong
with human standards

We expect everyone, except ourselves,
Fm
to not be selfish
D
But the last shall be first,
Em
and the first shall be the last ones
