Narration*
"(C)As for me, (G)why they trust me, only (F)God knows,
(C)But I guess one reason (F)is that I'm just a kid at heart my(C)self,
A (G)disillusioned teenager who understands them,
(F)Speaks their language, (C)thinks their thoughts,
(G)And still has their irrepressible hopes and (C)aspirations,
That there (G)must be an answer (F)somewhere,
And am (C)willing to try anything to find a way out,
(G)Even God's way, (F)and believes that it (C)can be done
No (F)matter if no one else is (C)doing it,
And (G)everyone else says it can't be done.
They recog(F)nize the kindred spirit in (C)me;
I speak their (G)thoughts; I say and so things
The way they'd like to (C)see them said and done;
(G)And I have con(F)vinced them that I, too,
(C)Do not like nor trust the older generation
(G)And it's futile and failing do(F)mestic, religious,
Edu(C)cational, economic and political (F)systems,
And am de(C)termined to break out of the mold
(G)Into which they've tried to pour us,
And in(F)stead find (C)God's mold and plan (G)for our lives,
The original one which He purposed for the world
And us that He created."

Sung:

Chorus One:
I (C)know them (G)and I (F)love (C)them.
He knows us (G)and we (F)love (C)him,
And we (F)all feel the (C)same in(G)side,
And we (F)all want to (C)do or (G)die(E7).

Verse:
And we be(Am)lieve that it's (Em)possible
To (F)live our (C)love,
And we (Am)love you, (Em)David, our (F)king(G),
And the (Am)light of God's (Em)love will (F)guide (C)you,
And we will (Am)follow you through (Em)any (F)thing(G).

Because we (C)know you [we (G)know you]
