The Beauty Queen -- Ms. Popular
All the girls want to be her
She fakes a smile so you can't tell
At home her life's a living Hell

The Teacher's Pet -- Gets straight A's
"She's going places," so they say
She does ballet -- plays in the band
But loneliness is her only friend
__________

     She wants to die -- hangs her head
     Grabs the knife under her bed
     She starts to cry -- locks the door
     And Scarlet Tears fall to the floor
__________


Back of the class -- your Average Joe
He blends in, goes with the flow
But dad's in prison, mom's on crack
He just wants his childhood back

Class President -- Homecoming King
Girlfriend's wearing his class ring
Got her pregnant but paid the bill
For the abortion that haunts him still
__________

     He wants to die -- hangs his head
     Grabs the gun under his bed
     He starts to cry -- locks the door
     And Scarlet Tears fall to the floor
__________


They want to live -- just don't know how
Hold out your hand the time is now
Save a life -- help them see
Christ's Scarlet Tears have set them free
