You're worth more than silver or gold
You're worth more than the lies that you're told
Just like the sparrow
His eyes are upon you
He's always thinking of you
Not left out in the cold
No longer alone
You're of more value
He takes a long walk
Into the night on the backstreets
Easily overlooked
The black sheep of his family
He's the last with no room left in the backseat
Craving for attention
But it's like they can't see
There's such a need to be supported
He's constantly on the short end
Where can he fit in to be important?
When even his loved ones ignore him
Couldn't find a home at church
Just cuz he was different
The way they disregarded
Made him feel insignificant
So he left once again a victim in his condition
He found love in the streets
Through the form of addiction
Drugs take the pain away
Just for a moment
He digs deeper
Trying to scratch at the pain
Now the wound is open
I tried to tell him he was chosen
Stay focused in forward motion
But it seems he's just too broken to ever own it, man
You're worth more than silver or gold
You're worth more than the lies that you're told
Just like the sparrow
His eyes are upon you
He's always thinking of you
Not left out in the cold
No longer alone
You're of more value
It's a shame no one ever invested time in him
Never knowing that there was a fight within
Time and time again
I see this cycle in a spin
And every time I hear this story
Makes me wanna cry again
If I could talk with him now
I'd plant a seed of hope
Saying, don't believe the lies that you're being told
Giving truth to reach below
And free you from your grieving soul
Speaking hope
Cuz the gospel's what you need to know
Fear not
It's better that you hear God
Don't listen to the mirror talk
It's okay to let your tears fall
And be healed now
Aye, it don't matter what they tell you
You are worth more value
Than the weight of silver or gold
And thanks to God I know that I'm never alone
Aye
You're worth more than silver or gold
And thanks to God I know that you're never alone
Aye
You're worth more than silver or gold
You're worth more than the lies that you're told
Just like the sparrow
His eyes are upon you
He's always thinking of you
Not left out in the cold
No longer alone
You're of more value
