He ran with the poor, dined with the sick Found the women and men living in sin He would befriend them, not just to go fix them
The children would run to sit by His side Tradition would say, “not too close, not this time” He would call for them, oh He would sit with them
You can call it opposites attract, for a King to live among the pack Or just call it like it is, the way we need to live
I don’t wanna hear a song about If we can’t live about it No we can’t sing about it No we can’t write about it If we don’t do something about Don’t want no songs about it If we can’t live about it If we can’t live about it
He broke down the walls of all protocol Not even yet born but they found a home Just an immigrant, He was an immigrant And as He grew up, His empathy too He would die to give live for me and you Just an immigrant, He was an immigrant
You can call it opposites attract, for a King to live among the pack Or just call it like it is, the way we need to live
I don’t wanna hear a song about If we can’t live about it No we can’t sing about it No we can’t write about it If we don’t do something about Don’t want no songs about it If we can’t live about it If we can’t live about it
The broken, the burdened, imprisoned and poor The wealthy, the widowed, skin different than yours The orphan, the outcasts, who beg and who don’t The hungry, the hurting, and without a home The people who pray to a God, we don’t serve The protestor marching for what we don’t want The stranger who knocks on our door without code Just begging for freedom that challenges it ours
I don’t wanna hear a song about If we can’t live about it No we can’t sing about it No we can’t write about it If we don’t do something about Don’t want no songs about it If we can’t live about it If we can’t live about it
When we don’t love Then we don’t love The one who showed us
I don’t wanna hear a song about If we can’t live about it No we can’t sing about it No we can’t write about it If we don’t do something about Don’t want no songs about it If we can’t live about it If we can’t live about it
We can’t love If we can’t love Even when we don’t wanna love We can’t call it love If we don’t love Even when we don’t wanna love
