We Have But One God

What do you say when you kneel to pray Is it for Health or Wealth The Nation's Good or merely for a scrap of food I suppose it depends on whether you are ill or poor Concerned or just hungry Any one of these would guide your words You'd hope that someone heard your pleas to ease the pain For worldly gain For Peace on Earth Or is it rebirth that you seek In a world of the meek. Do you take off your shoes Do you cover your head Do you pray for the living and bless the dead Do you do it in Church Do you go to a Mosque Do you sit on your bed Clasp your hands, bow your head Do you sing, Do you shout What is it about This profession of good This praying for food for starving nations The lighting of candles for dead relations I find it quite odd That we have but one God Yet we cannot pray together.
