When Will You

I met a guy once

Who broke in my hands

He told me a story

Of his sister getting raped

By his pastor when he was young

His family denied it ever happened

They continued to attend that church

He said this is why

He doesn’t believe in God anymore

Wo to him who would cause

A little one to go astray

It would be better that they

Tie a millstone around their neck

And be tossed in the sea

When will you people grow up?

You allowed this to happen

Yes God placed them there

But did you pray for them?

You supported them with your money

You kept them in office

You let the sheepdogs

Become wolves in my house

You fed them my children

When will you grow up

And protect my children

When will you stop being weak fathers

When will you stop being weak mothers

When will you drive the wolves

Out of your midst

When will you protect my people
