[Verse 1]
I met Jesus at the gay pride parade
He was praying for us to be free
A man with a bible yelled hatefully
And Jesus countered by taking a knee

[Chorus]
He said
They are people just like you
And God loves them living out their truth
They are people just like you
And they deserve to live just as much as you
And they deserve to love just as much as you

[Verse 2]
I met Jesus on Sunset Blvd
On a sidewalk of tеnts and poverty
He said young brother, why’d you look thе other way?
Away from the people who are starving and need to eat

[Chorus]
They are people just like you
And they have dreams and struggles just like you do
And I love them how I love you
And they deserve to be here just as much as you
And they deserve to eat just as much as you
And they deserve to be here just as much as you
[Verse 3]
I met Jesus at our Nation’s capital
He was wiping tears from his eyes
He never wanted no war and hate, so he cried like I cried
At the racists who divide
Using His name to justify
Their bigotry and white pride
Their violence of who deserves to live and die
Jesus cried
Jesus cried
Jesus cried
Jesus cried

[Bridge]
He said…
You must stop this hatred now
And live to help one another out
You must strive for kindness now
And learn to know what love is about
And learn to know what love is about

[Chorus]
Cause they are people just like you
And God loves them living out their truth
They are people just like you
And they deserve to be here just as much as you
And they deserve to be here just as much as you
