Thinking back when I was young... GER

I remember sitting on the pew

it was the thing to do

on Sunday's they said anyway.

I was bored to my mind

listen to the pastor wine and wine

about the end of time and stuff,

preaching about God enough

I said in my head,

I mean Jesus is dead.

I'm here I'm alive.

It's on me how I choose to shine

my light

and if this God is so forgiving

he'll forgive me for just living

right?

Growing up I seen the world corrupt,

people doped up,

smoked up,

broke up,

I got choked up

but then I woke up,

not to righteousness

but to emptiness, ugliness

thinking this must be the devil's nest.

A world unclean

between the scenes

using religion like a dope fein,

one quick hit,

a temporary fix,

ooh that Word was some good Sugar Honey Ice Tea

sounds sweet

but action speaks

louder then words

wondering who heard

the word I heard.

Don't they care,

don't they fear,

are they aware,

we bare the same cross,

we all get lost and tossed

between decisions about religion.

The years go on

been scorned, worn, reformed

and still get torn, Reborn.

I yearn to learn how a nation

succumbs to sin and temptation,

over Salvation,

can't escape suffering, trials and tribulations.

The choices we make

are our mistakes to correct,

we have to put ourselves in check,

we have to get order in our lives,

Jesus died, so we'll survive.

His blood is on our hands.

Can we truly understand?

Why we exist,

its not supposed to be like this,

we're not supposed to be perfect.

I breathe that's why I believe,

why I receive the unseen.

Now all the preaching, is reaching me.

The Word of God, is teaching me,

one with God, completing me.

There's still hope for humanity,

the devil is abnormality,

it's we that make him reality.

How do we determine the truth from fiction

when our illusions are our own convictions,

with restrictions.

Someone has to want to fight,

someone has to feel the plight.

It's up to us to make it right.

So on Sunday's while sitting on the pew,

remember these words I testified to you

and when the preacher says in God we trust,

wonder if God has faith in US...
