Lyrics
WHEN YOU SENT ME THE PICTURES OF THE CAMP,
I THOUGHT THAT SHE LOOKED OUT OF PLACE.
SOMETHING ABOUT HER DEMEANOR.
SOMETHING ABOUT HER FACE.
IT WASN'T THE FACE OF A LOOSER
OR A SOB STORY BUILT ON A LIE.
I KEPT THINKING SHE WAS DIFFERENT.
NOW I KNOW WHY.
IT WAS CIRCUMSTANCE THAT PUT HER THERE.
CIRCUMSTANCE. BECAUSE LIFE ISN'T FAIR.
CIRCUMSTANCE FOR THE YOUNG AND THE OLD.
CIRCUMSTANCE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
WHILE WE WERE LOOKING FOR DIRT.
WITH EVERY INTENTION TO HURT.
I'VE CREATED MY OWN INJURY.
AND SUDDENLY I SEE.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
I SEE HOMELESS FOLKS ON MY BEAT.
SOME OF THEM JUST HAD A BAD BREAK.
OR MAYBE THEY MADE BAD DECISIONS.
I GUESS WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
AND YES WE DO HAVE SOME BAD PLAYERS.
BUT THAT CERTAINLY ISN'T THE NORM.
THIS CAMP COULD BE SOMEPLACE
TO KEEP GIRLS LIKE COURTNEY FROM HARM.
IT WAS CIRCUMSTANCE THAT PUT THEM THERE.
CIRCUMSTANCE. BECAUSE LIFE ISN'T FAIR.
CIRCUMSTANCE FOR THE YOUNG AND THE OLD.
CIRCUMSTANCE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
CIRCUMSTANCE, IS CHANGING MY HEART.
NOW IT'S TIME TO MAKE A NEW START.
A CIRCUMSTANCE CREATED BY ME.
AND SUDDENLY I SEE.
IT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE.
