Holy Contradictions Lyrics

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
