do I\r\n\r\nCHORUS\r\nBut I was a stranger for just one day\r\nBorn with the cleanest slate\r\nMy mother loved me before she knew me\r\nGave me a name that didn't suit me\r\nBut hey that's okay\r\nI've kept it anyway\r\nWhat if I threw it away?\r\n\r\nVERSE\r\nAnd to me God's just a metaphor\r\nA metaphor for everything that's strange\r\nI take his name in vain a lot\r\nBut I'm not sure just what that means these days\r\nSometimes I wish that I were still religious\r\nAlong with a lot of other wishes\r\nBut I don't think that God would know my name\r\n\r\nCHORUS\r\nBut I was forgiven for just one day\r\nWhen I still knew how to pray\r\nAnd all the words were etched in gold\r\nOn the little Bible that I stole\r\nFrom my teacher in second grade\r\nThe one I didn't mean to take\r\nOh
