lyrics

1. My mother is religious, she just doesn’t believe in God
Faith in the unproven proved to be too hard
What she believes in‘s not hard to tell
Love thy neighbor as thyself

2. There are teachings in this world that see my mother damned
She hasn’t sought salvation, gripped the good Lord’s hand
What she’s embraced in countless deeds
Are friends and family and those in need

Chorus:
Are our beliefs the words we say
Are they the choices we make each day
The care bestowed on those we know
And those we don’t

My mother may stumble, as do we all
But there’s her kindness to break her fall
She seeks no praise, to be engaged
Is what‘s worthwhile

3. There are folks who have the answers, sure they know the Truth
Who walk some straight and narrow they feel the world should choose
My mother’s slow to give advice
About how others should lead their lives

4. To her there is no heaven, to her there is no hell
To her what really matters is right here where we dwell
If there’s a life once we depart
It’s what lives on in others’ hearts

Chorus

My mother is religious
