Hide a prayer deep in the mist Save it for a rainy day You never know where on God’s list His answer will be when you finally pray I turned one cheek She turned the other I’d have filed charges But she was my mother Do unto others As you’d have them do unto you Unless it’s illegal Or morally untrue He did unto others As they did unto him But he was outnumbered Now he hangs from a limb Counting the sins Of your fellow man Is like choosing the fire Instead of the pan Hellfire and damnation I believe I can compare To my morning commute I’m already there Copyright 2010 Patrick Granfors
