Holy Contradictions
Walked past your window today
The light was on, I saw you pray
Hands together, head bowed low
Will they hear you? God only knows
The window glass, it was stained
Showed his blood, how it drained
When they nailed him to the cross
For those like you, the world was lost
I heard your stories and read your book
Perhaps I need to take a second look
It says your god will only bless
Those without riches or even less
I made my way to your door
Where those lost souls sought solace before
Lifted my head, looked up high
Beautiful paintings filled the sky
Angels with wings, cherubs with bows
Is this heaven? God only knows
I heard your stories and read your book
Perhaps I need to take a second look
It says your god will only bless
Those without riches or even less
My eyes, they're drawn to your robes
They sweep the floor with consummate ease
Made from cloth, trimmed with gold
Are they needed? God only knows
The contradiction is so easy to see
I heard your stories and read your book
Yes, I took a second look
I believe the words to be true
I just can't see them in you
The eye of a needle, no rich man through
How does that resonate with you
I believe your god will only bless
Those without riches or even less
