You say I can't love him
Why?
Because we aren't married?
But when I see the look in his eyes when he's naked in bed
I know this is a holier sight than bread

You say ink in skin isn't allowed in heaven?
Why?
Because it is the work of tribal people?
But when I see a young man covered in them hug his daughter
I know he will walk through those gates

You say others' traditions are evil
Why?
Because only yours are true?
But when I look at the others, with their headdresses and prayer mats
I know they will truly get their reward

You conquer lands that are not your own
Why?
Because you say your god has given it to you
But when I look at the starving eyes of the native peoples in pain
I know you will burn forever
