The boy never hurt anyone
The boy only wanted to know the truth
The boy only told what he saw and heard

So why do they fight him with insults
Instead of feeding him with love
As they would have any other boy
Any other boy

The preachers all scoff at his words
The words of an obscure common fourteen year-old
What threat could he possibly be to them

So why do they fight him with insults
Instead of feeding him with love
As they would have any other boy
Any other boy

Strange how the great ones in popular places
In congregations with twisted faces
Could be so affected by this common boy
With his uncommon story

He knows what he saw, what he heard
He knows what he witnessed and learned and lived
His only concern is to give the truth

So why do they fight him with insults
Instead of feeding him with love
As they would have any other boy
Any other boy
Any other boy
