story for Sunday

Do
You
Go
Every
Sunday

Sit
In
Rows
Swear
To obey

Do
You 
Still
Look
For answers

In
The
Tales 
Of our 
Ancestors

Do you remember the story of Noah and the ark?
Did you ever think how much he suffered for his part?
Was the story of the two by two
Taught to children,  told so cute
Have you ever looked deep into the lines 

Sing the songs
They tell you to
Say the words
Like you're supposed to do
Rituals have a way of giving
What we need for believing

Do
You
Still
Say grace
For every meal

Do
You
Still
Erase
The sins you reveal

Do
You
Still
Feel like
There's something real

Watching you

Is it watching you?
What if it's watching you?
What if it's not?

Remember the story of Job
When God turned him into a joke
He took everything just to show
That the poor bastard still worshiped him

Did that teach you what you need to know?
What they think of here below 
Jealous Gods seem to have to show
How much we will love them even though

Did
You
Pass the plate
Of gold 

Did 
You
Give what
You were told

Is 
It
Fear that
Makes you hold

On to all of this?

Saved and sacred
Scared and naked
Saved and sacred 
Scared and naked

Just trying to get home
Just trying to feel home
Just trying to find home
Just trying to go home

Did
You
Do what you
Were told
