Secular State
A baby born in a secular state
Of parents belonging to different race
It will decide to what faith
It owes its allegiance and its prayers.
A baby growing up in a secular state
Of parents belonging to different race
Unsure of its faith, unsure of its fate
In the end, he ends up falling from grace.
