Somebody stop the fire
Good morning Lord
tell me do you feel any shame,
about the things that people do,
under the banner of your name?
Burning holy books in Florida
because they tell a different story
albeit one thats close to yours
about truth, peace, love and glory
I used to think you preached of love
for all our fellow men
but I guess somebody changed it
cos they know better than you did then
No wonder church is pleading poverty
with attendance on decline
there's far to much intolerance
could you at least send them a sign
Now you and I were never close
if you exist you must know why
but for your sake please do something
show us forgiveness is no lie
I'm about the least religious person I know, and whats planned by the Dove World Outreach Center is a great example of why.
