Fish sticks, Crinkled fries
Lunch time at Central High
New kid in school
He really didn't mean to break the rules
Oh, you could've heard a pin drop
When he bowed his head to pray
All the conversation stopped
Oh, but he don't care what the others might say

Sometimes you've gotta rock the boat
If you love the Lord and wanna walk in his ways
If you have a heart for Jesus
Sometimes you've gotta make some waves
Well, the world don't like it
If you go against the grain
And take a stand in Jesus' name
If you wanna keep the truth afloat
Sometimes you've gotta rock the boat

Heads turned and eyes stared
You could feel the tension in the air
When his prayer had reached the end
Several other voices softly said "Amen."
It was all too plain and simple
All he did was say grace
Oh, but God can take a ripple
And turn it into a tidal wave!
