CHURCH

They say that the spirit of GOD lives within
Within is the church that I frequently attend
The congregation's my pad & the pastor my pen
Providing spiritual upliftment in a world of sin

Trying to win the battle & remain on the saddle
Instead of being rattled & returned to the cradle
By people who seek to take away all my paddles
To the Hope Boat so that I float in the bayou

Each of you must choose what's best for you
Doing what it takes to make your way through
Like quitting a thankless job to go back to school
Or cutting ties and rides on tides in a cesspool
