jack macdonald st. paul's cathedral şarkı sözleri
It was a bitter, cold January
We wanted some relief
So we took up some sanctuary
In the House of Faith and Belief
The most beautiful church you'll ever know
It has a huge dome and steeple
All stained glass covered up in gold
With a couple thousand people
I don't want to seem like a miser
I'm not sure how bad this sounds
But in order to get inside her
The church charged twenty-five pounds
Each!
My wife wasn't thrilled to pay such a price
But the kids were really cold
I whispered"Wouldn't it be nice
If he could also save your soul!"
Was it God's love? A sign from above?
For on the Confessional Booth
On a Post-it note, one name was wrote"Jan" it said, and that's God's truth
The priest was waiting, no hesitating
As he opened the door for my wife"It's been awhile" he said with a smile"Come let's talk about your life"
So we walked around, on that sacred ground
Disciples were everywhere
When destiny calls at St. Paul's
All sinners best beware!
When destiny calls at St. Paul's
All sinners best beware!
We decided to climb right to the top
Must have been a thousand steps
We made it up without a stop
As close to Heaven as I'm gonna get
When all of a sudden, way down below
Was an argument of some kind
Down we raced, a thousand steps to go
And Jan was giving him a piece of her mind
Well, she might be five foot one at best
But don't ever let that fool ya
She poked a finger into his chest"Let me tell YOU about Hallelujah!"
Hallelujah"Excuse me Father, I beg your pardon
I've been worshiping since birth
But I believe She's in my garden
And I call her Mother Earth"
She said"I believe She's in my garden
And I call her Mother Earth!"
The Priest was calm, held out his hand
And spoke to his congregation"You see she's not wrong, the Lord understands
This is not an abomination""If you don't love ALL your fellow man
And treat them like family
Or care for the weak the best you can
That's the real blasphemy""He, or She, is everywhere
In the garden or in St. Paul's
Love like Jesus, is all He cares
A church doesn't need four walls"
Love like Jesus, is all He cares
The church doesn't need four walls
Love like Jesus, is all He cares
You don't have to be in St. Paul's.
