Before the day is done I wonder why;
hypocrisy upon the lighted stage.
How many hate and hold their Bible high!
I had a cousin once in days gone by;
at forty nine she did not act her age.
Before the day is done I wonder why.
She hated Blacks and did not bat an eye;
plus homophobia was all the rage.
How many hate and hold their Bible high!
She judged them all yet her court was a lie;
a rabid beast within a dirty cage.
Before the day is done I wonder why.
Self-righteous arrogance a tsetse fly;
when poison is the read I turn the page.
How many hate and hold their Bible high!
When hatred dominates I want to cry;
it is a war that I will always wage.
Before the day is done I wonder why;
how many hate and hold their Bible high!
