You opened up your book
You invited us to read
But what we've read brings a shock
Due to all the pain
We've known the same

You were raped when just a girl
And to cope you drowned your world
Nowadays you're drying out
But we remember what you used to be about

Jessica sing for the people
Your singing's all we're asking of you
We want to be true believers
It's not that much for you to do
Your voice is flowing with a magic sound
That lifts our spirits when we're feeling down
Please come around
Jessica sing for the people

We know Ashlee's suffered too
When she blundered we were mad
But we hope we can forgive
That's what we can say
Till comes that day

She's at least as good as you
And we hope she'll restore you too
Though she herself was never raped
We all hope that she can help you to escape

Jessica sing for the people
Your singing's all we're asking of you
We want to be true believers
It's not that much for you to do
Your voice is flowing with a magic sound
That lifts our spirits when we're feeling down
Please come around
Jessica sing for the people

You were drowning in an alcoholic haze
Now we expect you to be seeing better days
This book you've opened is a starting step to direly needed therapy
As for your rapist we suspect her life has been consumed with misery

Jessica sing for the people
Your singing's all we're asking of you
We want to be true believers
It's not that much for you to do
Your voice is flowing with a magic sound
That lifts our spirits when we're feeling down
Please come around
Jessica sing for the people
