Verse #1
She was the prom queen
The most beautiful girl
This town had ever seen
But she was lonely inside
It was so hard to hide (oh)
No father, no man in her life
All alone with her thoughts
Feelings of hate would rise
Bitterness, loneliness
She would start to think of herself
As less (oh)
Chorus #1
(oh) But a little goes a long way,
Goes a long way,
Goes a long way,
Maybe you should intervene
Or pretend you don't see
All the tears, all the pain, the insecurities
Love her when she's low
You're the only Jesus she may ever know
And love her when she's at a lost
And help carry that cross
Oh carry that cross
Verse #2
Broken and beaten he was
The needle entered his vein
Poisoning his blood
Eyes red, sweat drips, pale lips
Thinking maybe I should end
All of this
Chorus #2
But a little goes a long way,
Goes a long way,
Goes a long way,
Maybe you should intervene
Or pretend you don't see
All the tears, all the pain, the insecurities
Love him when he's low
You're the only Jesus he may ever know
And love him when he's at a loss (oh)
And help carry that cross
And help that carry that cross (oh)
