BURNT IN HELL
I am 15
and I know
that if I just pray
God will stop me from being gay
I go to church
and I know
that if I put my hands together,
cross my fingers
and just pray
God will stop me from being gay
I received the blessing
so I know
that if I put my hands together,
cross my fingers,
click my heels together three times
and pray
God will stop me from being gay
I am 15
and I know
that if I just say
that I am healed
no-one will know that I am gay
I go to church
and I know
that if I just say
the Holy Spirit took my guilt away
no-one will know that I am gay
I tell my parents
and I know
they think it's their lucky day
They cross their fingers,
kneel and pray
yet deep down they know
their son is gay -
but it's okay
"I have no reason to be afraid
In God's image I am made"
