The Sin a Child Is Born To Is Not Hers
The sin a child is born to is not hers;
For mother’s body’s sacred with its grace.
Society will mar us with its glares.
Yet ,at a baptism will the priest declare:
Out ye demons,leave this infant’s space.
The sin a child is born to is not hers
The infant naturally speaks in tongues of fire.
The Spirit moves eternal in its trace
Society will mar us with its glares
The path we learn to walk ‘s already there
The rules and laws were written with no haste
The sin a child is born to is not hers
A child born now is marked by Iraq War
A child born now, in paranoia’s traced.
Society will mar us with its glares
Oh,look upon the infant’s holy face
Beatific vision is there traced
The sin a child is born to is not hers
Society will mar us with its glares
