You Live In This World Too

Blue-eyed girl
A preacher's daughter
She got pregnant by her father
Now he don't want that baby being born
So she's off to another state
Stranded in a world of hate
But she'll survive and his secret won't be known

I'd hold my tongue if I was you
Before you ask what would Jesus do
You live in the world where Christian girls
Get abortions too

Golden boy
A senator's son
Just out to have some weekend fun
Now there's girl on the phone, he don't know her name
It's just as well, it's for the best
No he don't want to take the test
He'll pay in cash, there won't be no-one to blame

I'd hold my tongue if I was you
Before you ask what would Jesus do
You live in the world where respectable boys
Get abortions too

She might be your daughter
Your sister or your wife
Doing what she has to for the sake of her own life
And if it isn't you and no-one asked you what you think...

Foster child
With a four point o
She was always on the honor roll
No she's off to state school with the first-year blues
Frat house on a Friday night
She woke up underneath some guy
Doing something she didn't want him to

Now she's going to be a mama
With nothing but her high school diploma
No job no skill no place to run home to
I'd hold my tongue if I was you
Before you ask what would Jesus do
You live in the world
You live in the world
You live in this world too
