MY RELIGION

I played the knight who rescues the maiden
proposed to the princess on my bended knee
she looked at the world through rose-colored glasses
and I took for granted the things I had seen
I walked yellow brick roads through miles of desert
watched sand castle dreams melt in raging seas
as I went under I remember thinking,
"I have plans for tomorrow... does tomorrow have plans for me?"
you are my religion
you have always been just what I need
you are my religion
you have always been what I believe

I remember places the sun found me waking
I hope those places remember of me
I've had dark desperate hours push down on my conscience
and maybe it's the bondage that made me truly free
I remember faces of those who have known me
and I've seen their fingers worked down to the bone
seen those same hands when they tried to hold me
when I was too worry to stand up on my own

I saw Woody at Brooklyn State Hospital
I cried for him like you cried for me
sat with Guatama down in the desert
and I watched Yashua walk across the sea
some people find God in old rusty buildings
after walking thousands of miles
some people find God in old dusty rule books
I find God each time I see you smile
