long live the kid (Spoken Word)

from Pretty Words by Esther Kinsaul

/

lyrics

Long live the kid on his phone/
he slipped in late and hes in the back row/
hes on the bible app because he doesnt have a single on in his home/
thank God he's here/
Long live that girl in the skirt thats just a little too short/
she tried to dress nice, shes never been here before/
its only 10 am and shes already been assumed a whore/
but thank God shes here/
Long live that man who smells like alcohol/
he needs the bathroom but hes too scared of the stares to go thru the fellowship hall/
its not a way to cope he knows but he just couldnt handle the heavy of it all/
but thank God hes here/
Long live that girl in long sleeves in June/
she was tugging at her bracelets the entire time she was in the youth room/
she was doing fine until Saturday night turned her brain into a prison room/
but thank God shes here/
Long live those guys that came here on motorcycles/
blue-eyed, tattooed punks they dont fit in at all/
but they bright-eyed and optimistic enough to think we can all be disciples/
thank God theyre here/
Long live that couple in the corner thats a different color/
they got married last spring and they dont want to be like all the others/
they dont know when to sing or when to stand or all the terms because she was too busy to listen to her grandmother/
but thank God theyre here.
