Roman Catholic Returns
I have a tremendous fear,
It causes my shoulders a great burden,
A burden of flame and eternity,
Tomorrow I return,
Walk through the commanding doors-
Doors to the Roman Catholic Church,
Therein I was born and raised,
As I reached my coming of age I fled,
I denounced all that the church was,
I stand here now,
Proclaiming myself to be a fool,
I pray the faith welcomes their sheep with open arms.
