I went to church this morning
And I sat down in the pews.
I sat through all the hymns,
and I began to think of you.
I wondered what you'd think if you knew that I was here.
I wondered if I was supposed to feel that somehow, God was near.
I went to church this morning,
A yoga-loving Buddhist
Pastor Tony looked at me,
And I knew that he knew this.
I went to church this morning,
and I didn't take Communion.
Forgive me, but the blood of Christ
Is not what I dip my food in.
They played religious music,
then they went up and broke the bread.
I thought I'd be a hypocrite,
so I sat and stared instead.
They had a "crown of thorns".
It was sitting on the table.
They all believed in Jesus.
But me, I wasn't able.
I went to church this morning,
Around my neck, I wore no cross.
I wore a silver aum instead
To support my Eastern cause.
I went to church this morning,
And I listened to them sing.
I only thought of how false it was
And how it didn't mean a thing.
The prayers which they offered forth
Seemed to be falling on deaf ears.
But these people openly admitted
Their sickness, hopes and fears.
Starting their "Our Fathers",
The congregation truly believed
That God was going to help them
If they knelt down on their knees.
I went to church this morning,
And it solidified my belief
That church is not my favorite thing
And brings people no relief.
I went to church this morning,
And I don't believe in God.
I do not care that Jesus
Was nailed upon a cross.
I don't believe in heaven,
I don't think I'll go to hell.
I left the church as I entered
And all was good and well.
