D (xx0232@1)D (xx0232@1)DI (xx0232@1)went to your schools, I did my detention 
But the walls are so gray, I couldn't pay attention
D (xx0232@1)I heard your gospel- it moved me to tears, 
But I couldn't find the hate, and I couldn't find the fear 
DI (xx0232@1)met your Savior, I knelt at his feet, 
And he took my ten bucks, and he went down the street
D (xx0232@1)I tried to believe all the things that you said,
