Light a candle for me
and say a prayer to those who'll hear it
It won't be the Christian God
could be angel, fairy, even demon or spirit
I have no Bible to read
I have no church on Sunday to attend
I keep my religion to myself
because there are those it might offend
They wince at email forwards
filled with some sort of Pagan faith
But send me their God daily
and if I deny it, show me their hate
I live my religion daily
and I bear a cross not carried by Jesus
They live theirs on Sunday
the rest of the week bears their excuses
You ask the name of my god
yours has a thousand and then one
Mine doesn't require it
and so you think that he must have none
While you pray away your sins
I do my best to accept consequence
There is no forgiveness for me
simply because 'I believe in you' I profess
The most that I hope
is that at the end of any given day
Don't take faith from me
It doesn't bother me a bit if it isn't your way
I don't force you to my circles
so you can stop inviting me to your church
If my inbox isn't filled with Jesus
I really doubt that his feelings will be hurt
Next time you feel filled with faith
don't tell me the Psalm you might have read
If you must do anything at all
you can light a candle for me instead
and say a prayer to those who'll hear it
It won't be the Christian God
could be angel, fairy, even demon or spirit
I have no Bible to read
I have no church on Sunday to attend
I keep my religion to myself
because there are those it might offend
They wince at email forwards
filled with some sort of Pagan faith
But send me their God daily
and if I deny it, show me their hate
