Arrested for Existing
Words and Music by LL. White ©️2026 Beglorifiedmusic BMI
SPOKEN: For all those who came looking for a better life, instead, you found systemic abuse, cruelty, oppression regression and hate. Wherever you are, Jesus loves you and came to set the captive FREE; to “give you life, and that more abundantly.” He sees…
VERSE:
Can you remember the last time
There was joy and peace in our time?
When “humanity was free to go from sea to shining sea;”
And across the “spacious skies”
To the Land where dreams became reality,
And hate was still a crime?!
Refrain
One heart, one voice, from coast to coast.
We all know, we all know, we all know
It’s not right, it’s not right, it’s not right -
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
There’s no path to a “better life?”
CHORUS
Arrested for existing
Blacklisted – it’s so twisted
That our freedoms are at risk,
But thank God, Jesus understands this.
In His hands are His commandments:
Love your neighbor, but first your Saviour
It’s the pure code of behavior
Of righteousness, not to play with
Arrested for existing.
Arrested for existing.
VAMP
Arrested for existing –
we’re all pawns in a sick scheme
Arrested for existing
that involves overreaching
Arrested for existing
beyond laws___ of what is decent.
Arrested for existing
It’s a call___back to reason
Spoken:
Arrested for existed:
It’s a system
That’s seditious
It makes you wanna hate
those you think deserve hate
But this is a Truth
We can’t negotiate
God is not the author of confusion but of peace
so stop!
Choose the narrow and the straight.
Refrain
We all know, we all know, we all know
It’s not right, it’s not right, it’s not right.
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
There’s no path to a “better life?”
CHORUS
Arrested for existing
Blacklisted – it’s so twisted
That our freedoms are at risk,
But thank God, Jesus understands this.
In His hands are His commandments:
Love your neighbor, but first your Saviour
It’s the pure code of behavior
Arrested for existing.
Arrested for existing.
VAMP
Arrested for existing –
we’re all pawns in a sick scheme
Arrested for existing
that involves overreaching
Arrested for existing
