How She Sees

How she sees corresponds with what she knows
And they only see with their eyes what they wanted
Bitterly in being judged by Pharisees
They only see with their eyes what they wanted
So we’re supposed to raise their righteous hands and say goodnight?
And leave her with the bitter taste of church inside?
She wanted just to see inside
She wanted just to know what’s right
She wanted her life to be all right
How she sees corresponds with what she feels
And they only see with their eyes what they wanted
So beat her down because she’s a whore anyway
You foolish man you forget your chains
So do me a favor — raise those filthy hands that mercy claimed
Remember love that showed you life, then show the same
She wanted just to see inside
She wanted just to know what’s right
She wanted her life to be all right
If she could only see, she’s just like you and me
