lyrics

Didn't put my knees on the floor
Didn't have no folded hands
Didn't count the beads on a string
Didn't call the holy man

Didn't put a dollar in the basket
Didn't sing a tune
Didn't read the words in a book
Didn't have a clue

Am I doing this right
'Cause everything is going wrong
But I feel you by my side
Maybe you have been all along

Didn't light a candle
Didn't say a rhyme
Didn't stay an hour
Didn't make the time

Didn't do confession
Didn't join the choir
Didn't dress my Sunday best
All I am is tired
