He ran with the poor, dined with the sick,
found the women and men living in sin.
The children would run to sit by his side,
tradition would say, not too close, not this
Oh, he would sit with them.
You could call it opposites attract
For a king to live among the pack
Or just call it like it is
I don't wanna hear a song about it
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 it
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 our protocol
He would die to give life for me and you
For a king to live among the pack
Or just call it like it is
I don't wanna hear a song about it
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 it
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,
skin different than yours
The orphaned, the outcasts,
The protesters marching for
The stranger who knocks on
Just begging for freedom that challenges ours
If we can't live about it
Then we can't sing about it
No, we can't write about it
If we don't do something about it
Don't want no songs about it
If we can't, live about it
I don't want no song about it
Oh, if we can't, live about it
Then we can't sing about it
Said I'm so tired, I'm so tired,
Live about it, live about it
No, 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
