She grew up without very much
She didn't know who her father was
She met a boy and her heart he stole
So she gave him all her body and her soul

She's not ready to face
The outcome of their mistake
It's brought her nothing but pain
And she's too young for this fate

CHORUS
She's alone
Caught up in the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes, that's how it goes
When we throw stones

People denied and criticized
They sent her away isolated
Caught in a bad dream, her plea rejected
They left her alone and neglected

They put her out on display
Showcasing all her mistakes
She's worn out and she's afraid
Why does it always happen this way?

CHORUS

She went to them for help
But blindly they cast the first stone
They could have taken her in
Instead they left her on her own
All alone

She's alone
Caught up in the undertow
Where it takes her no one knows
That's how it goes, that's how it goes

CHORUS (2x)

When we throw stones at the wounded
We throw stones at the brokenhearted
That's how it goes, that's how it goes
When we throw stones



Behind the Song:
'We have always felt an urgency to address issues in our songs that are relatable to real life, and present Godly, biblical answers to those issues. This is a song about a young girl in the church who gets pregnant. It’s a social commentary on how the church deals with this situation. It's so unfortunate that when something like this happens, other Christians can tend to shut someone out, or make an example of them. This is a challenge to Christians to sweep these girls up into their arms and find out what's going on in their hearts, and then nurse them back to health, just as Jesus would do. What would Jesus do? That's a great question for us all to continually ask ourselves, and hopefully this song will open the forum for that question to be asked more often.' - Alisa (ZOEgirl)
