Beyond That Tree Lyrics by Willy J “The Prisoner of Hope”

Ashes

2015

Verse 1:
Every time I'm steppin' out people always starin' at me
Like being big is weird treat me like an oddity
Supposed to have the love of God, reflections of his light
I always thought we live by faith not be sight
It's getting more contagious as we go day by day
People judging by what you believe in or what's in your race
If you barely gettin' paid, people laughin' man it's torture
Laughin' at your honest dollar makin' liars fortunes
If you livin' in the ghetto you no better than bugs
Minority in 'burbs? You must be sellin' drugs
Got tattoos on your body? you're the son of the devil
You wearin' all black? you must be a rebel
You go to church everyday you're holier than thou
If you're skinny or you're fat you're anorexic or a cow
You're single and really like someone that you see in the crowd
They say you haven't got a chance so you keep your head down
Hook:
Why they pickin' on me?
Why are people judgin' me?
Just because I'm different doesn't mean you treat me differently
They wanna move the splinter from my eye so I can see
But how can they see beyond that tree?
Verse 2:
Sticks, stones break bones but words hurt everyone
Grim reaper in your mouth that's proverbs 18:21
A tongue full of hate is an opposition
How can you have hate and yet serve the great commission?
You say you never judge huh? Are you sure?
You never judged a woman on her beauty when she pass the door?
You say you never judge huh? Are you sure honey?
You never judged a man by his job or his money?
We make fun of people with the special needs
We make fun of atheists cuz they don't believe
We're rooted to programmed judgmental mindset
We sing Aretha Franklin but don't practice respect
So stop judgin' and start lovin'
This ain't hippy talk this is comin' from above
Live in theocracy he'll change your mind state
And read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Hook:
Why they pickin' on me?
Why are people judgin' me?
Just because I'm different doesn't mean you treat me differently
They wanna move the splinter from my eye so I can see
But how can they see beyond that tree?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails...
Hook:
Why they pickin' on me?
Why are people judgin' me?
Just because I'm different doesn't mean you treat me differently
They wanna move the splinter from my eye so I can see
But how can they see beyond that tree?
