God Loves All Good People
Walking to my town’s steeple
My nerves get the best of me
God loves all good people
Stomach pains sharp like a needle
Love is my holy felony
As I walk to my town’s steeple
Community shaming me as the root of all evil
But your morals are wrong, fundamentally
God loves all good people
Your words have proven lethal
My siblings kill themselves from your hegemony
I think of them
As I walk to my town’s steeple
I’m being stared at
I am what you see as evil
But my mantra I play like a melody
God loves all good people
My identity’s primeval
But it’s made me your enemy
Walking to my town’s steeple
God loves all good people
