My friend Taylor she's an angel
Ten years old and beautiful
She's a living, breathing miracle
And she proves it everyday
'Cause the odds were stacked against her from the day that
she arrived here
And the doctors told her mom and dad she'd always be that
way
And I confess when I first met her
I was thinking life's not fair
But then she wrapped her arms around my neck
And it all became so clear
God bless the last ones
One day Taylor sent me a picture from her Special Olympics
race
And I could tell just by the looks of it she was coming in
last place
But she crossed that finish line with a smile upon her face
as if to say
God bless the last ones
Maybe the last ones are the lucky ones
The ones who got this whole thing figured out
'Cause when they go looking for something beautiful
They start looking from the inside out
On our way into the restaurant we passed a homeless man
He was half drunk and half asleep with a paper cup in his
hand
And I confess when I first saw him I was thinking life's not
fair
But then Taylor reached out and wrapped her arms around his
neck
And it all became so clear
God bless the last ones
I wish we could all be the lucky ones
The ones who've got this whole thing figured out
Maybe the next time we go looking for beautiful we'll try
looking from the inside out
God bless the last ones
