Preacher man
Barely practice
What you're
Preachin'
Walkin' that
Tight rope
Never quiet
Reachin'
Me.
I'm just
Your daughter
But you'd
Never know
For the hole
In my
Heart
Preacher man.
Preachin' ‘bout
Hellfire and
Damnation
And all I know
Is that it isn't
Some far away
Place,
It's called
Home
Under your
Roof.
Preacher man
You talk
Of a prodigal
Son,
But what
About me?
Broken because
I never
Had a father
Just a
Preacher man.
Even if you
Thump me
With belt
And bible
I knew
When I needed
More,
And went
To the place
That was
Your shame,
Not mine,
Preacher man.
I found
Me.
I found
Love.
I found
Redemption
Not from
A good book
And a preacher man
But from
Good people
Who gave me
The one thing
You never
Could…
Preacher man.
