• See the boy who’s sitting there
    Who doesn’t say a word?
    Don’t let his silence fool you –
    All he wants is to be heard.

    His family is ashamed of him
    He has no place to go.
    He never thought his loved ones
    Would turn out to be his foe.

    All it took was a single sentence
    “Mom, Dad…I’m gay.”
    It took less than a minute
    For them to turn on him and say:

    “You are no son of mine, boy!
    You were not raised this way!”
    And he was forced onto the streets
    Before the crack of day.

    So now he sits in school
    And he feels so out of place
    Standing on the sidelines
    Just a kid without a face

    -----------------

    See that girl who’s standing there
    Looking lost and all alone?
    She looks completely morbid
    Just a bag of skin and bones.

    She’s lost interest in living
    There are scars along her arms
    She’s losing herself too quickly
    To the demons of self-harm

    Her friends no longer talk to her
    Her parents just don’t care
    So now she’s wearing down
    And is more than worse for wear

    She used to be so pretty
    With a head full of shining curls
    Now she’s been reduced to nothing
    All because she just likes girls.

    So now she stands alone
    Fallen out of God’s good grace
    There she stands without hope
    Just a kid without a face

    See that group of people there
    In the cemetery mourning?
    All of them are crying over
    The kids they had been scorning.

    Two caskets are lowered in the ground
    With two gravestones set in place:
    “Both of them were known as
    Just a kid without a face.”
