Some lyrics to read over
These are the lyrics to my friend Michelle's song called Absolute. She considers this her thesis for bible college.
Absolute - Michelle Luxon
You ask me how I'm holding up through
All these trials I'm facing
Your voice is laced with enthusiasm
For the life that you think I've chosen.
And your questions tell more about you
Than my answers are sure to do
About me and my comfortability
With a faith born out of conformity.
Only fools are certain and immovable
Like it's a sin to be thinking
That nothing's absolute.
Where's the faith, where's belief?
You can't tie it down.
Don't give me the bible.
'Cause I wouldn't want anyone
To take one line I have said
And give it a strictly literal bent
You could take it outta context.
Take it outta meaning
Put it in another language
And tell me what I am saying.
You can't release someone who
Knows that they are free
You can't have a system without corruption
Their religion is a quotation
And we all pay for conformity in the end.
