Stay in school, don't be a fool
A dropout gets left out
A dropout gets pushed out
Show me your name, what does it mean
...

There is a dark cloud over my head
With every move i make, every step i take
It keeps following me
Lord you know i want to free
...

There is something deep within your heart
It's tearing my love apart
I told you i would never misuse you
I would always be there to comfort you
...

If you believe our country is the greatest country today
If you believe our country is drifting the opposite way
Please stand up
Why do we spend all that money on the space shuttle and
...

Will i be here tomorrow to see another day
Will i hear of another child running away
Can i face the suffering and pain
To see another person driven insane
...

You promised to always love me
You promised me you would always be with me
Now my heart is filled with sadiness
Oh, honey i am filled with pain
...

I drifted away from his protecting arms
I drifted, i drifted a long ways from home
Then i asked myself why, why, why
I drifted so far i was not the same
...

I'am sitting here by the telephone
Hoping you will call and explain why you have gone
You said there was nothing on this earth
That could destroy our love
...

Oh people of America, people of America
Take a good look at our homeland
Do you really understand
Before you finish reading this poem
...

I found a new meaning in life
Yes, i've found Jesus Christ
I came from the other side of the track
Yet, Christ saved my life
...

His feet are faster than light
His left jab out of sight
His fists made of clay
His name i will not say
...

I ain't got no money to spend
I ain't got no teeth to grin
I'm so poor i can't write no IOU
Don't have one pair of shoes
...

My heart is heavy with sorrow and pain
My life will never be the same
As i look at his picture i love so dear
The one i love is far from here
...

Whatever it takes, dear Lord
For me to stand
I am willing to obey
Your every command
...
