HE WALKS ALL ALONE BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS
CARRYIN’ WHAT HE OWNS IN A COUPLE OF SACKS
OUR COLLECTIVE THUMB KEEPS PUSHING HIM DOWN
TOLD HIM MANY TIMES HE’S NOT WELCOME IN TOWN
          
          HE DOESN’T KNOW HE’S A FAVORITE SON
          LOVE REACHES DEEPER THAN THE TEARS EVER RUN
          BEFORE HE WAS BORN, HIS UNIQUE HEART
          WAS FASHIONED IN THE MURAL OF CREATION ART
          HE’S A FAVORITE ONE, IN SPITE OF ALL WE’VE DONE
          OH—OH, FAVORITE ONE
          
WORKING TWO JOBS ENDS NEVER SEEM TO MEET
SHE OFTEN GOES HUNGRY SO HER BABIES CAN EAT
HER FATHERLESS SON WEARS TORN CLOTHES TO SCHOOL
WHERE MAKING FUN OF HIM’S THE ONLY GOLDEN RULE

          SHE DOESN’T KNOW SHE’S A FAVORITE DAUGHTER
          THAT SOMEONE WANTS TO HELP HER WALK ON WATER
          WE’VE DESTROYED HER FAITH, TREATED HER WITH SCORN
          AND MADE HER LONG REGRET THE DAY SHE WAS EVER BORN
          SHE’S A FAVORITE ONE, IN SPITE OF ALL WE’VE DONE
          OH—OH, FAVORITE ONE
          
IN THIS FOOL’S GOLD RUSH OF GREED’S DECEPTION GAME
THE WAY WE TREAT EACH OTHER IS A DIRTY ROTTEN SHAME

          AND WE HAVE NO IDEA WE’RE A FAVORITE ONE
          LOVED BEFORE THE DAWN OF A STAINED CREATION
          WHAT GOES AROUND COMES BACK TO HAUNT OUR CHILDREN
          GENERATIONS BLINDED BY GENERATIONS’ SIN
          WE’RE A FAVORITE ONE, IN SPITE OF ALL WE’VE DONE
          OH—OH, FAVORITE ONE
          OH—OH, FAVORITE ONE
          OH—OH, FAVORITE ONE
