I am the fatherless child you pass on your way to church and
I am a sinner in your eye
I am a mother showing strength when things are all but certain
But I'm a quitter in your eye
Ain't giving up my tears of hope
Got my two feet off the ground
No one should treat you like a joke
Don't you let them tear you down
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the riv-, me in the riv-, in the river
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
Stone, stone, stone, stone, hey, hey
I am a brother doing time for someone else's crimes and
I am a villain in your eye
I am a silent sister fighting words with words of wisdom
I'm just angry in your eye
Ain't giving up my tears of hope
Got my two feet off the ground
No one should treat you like a joke
Don't you let them tear you down
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the riv-, me in the riv-, in the river
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
I am the fatherless child
I am a silent sister, sister
Silent sister, sister
I'm just angry
I am the fatherless child
I am a silent sister, sister
Silent sister, sister
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the riv-, me in the riv-, in the river
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the riv-, me in the riv-, in the river
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
We all leave this place on our own
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
I sink like a stone
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone, stone
Throw me in the river I sink like a stone
