From the recording Christopher's Song
Lyrics
I made a peanut butter and jelly for you. I'd hoped you'd like it 'cause that's what most kids do. But you're not a kid anymore, are you? I took my son for a walk when we met you. It was a sunny September afternoon. But you weren't in school that day, were you?
Chorus: No, you're beyond that you’re streetwise; you've got a twelve years olds paradise. All the guys like you now, all the older guys like you now. You've got your freedom, you're rich now. You can live the life you choose. But what life did you choose? What an awful life did you choose? Guess it was better than the one that chose you. I guess it was better than the one that chose you.
I called out the police that day on you. It's nothing but a goose-chase we're into. 'Cause you can elude any noose, can't you? And so we wait for your heart to break in two. And hold out hope that you'll be despairing soon. 'Cause we know you're hurting for love, aren't you?
If you only knew about the Love that chose you. If you only knew about the Love that chose you.
