Religion
Please don't bother preaching to me
I don't want to hear what you have to say
You can keep your religion
And I will keep my faith
I don't need your Church
To find a Higher Power
I met my maker
In my darkest hour
You pay your tithes
And I will pay it forward
And in the end, we both
Will receive our just rewards
Heed the righteous sermons
Sing the Gospel Hymns
Kneel at the altar
Confess to your sins
Read the Holy Bible
Love thy neighbors
Say your evening prayers
That'll please your Savior
You live the Christian life
But only you know
If your heart is pure
And God will save your soul
I don't need no one to tell me
What I know in my heart to be truth
Who needs a book full of stories
When they're surrounded by proof
If ever I had a doubt
I just need to look around
At the glory of His creations
The miracles abound
I don't have to believe
I know that God is real
I may never make it to Heaven
But He spared my soul from Hell
In the depths of my despair
I committed suicide
But by the grace of a loving God
I am still alive
So with the second chance that I was given
This is what I intend to do
Just live my life
And do the best that I can do
I am only human
And I'm going to make mistakes
I'm sure that God is aware of that
Since He is the one that made me this way
I'm not going to live in regret
I'll always do my best to change
And I'll be a better person
As long as I do the next right thing
If I do unto others
And there is love in my heart
And I lend a helping hand
Then I've done my part
I just think that organized religion
Is a substitute for real faith
But any path that leads to God
Is Big Business headed the right way
