Blessed Be The Fool
(Paula Joy Welter)
Religious freedom is one of the most important rights granted to us in our US Constitution. This song came from my thoughts on tolerance, prompted by a knock on the door and my thoughts later about matters of faith...
BLESSED BE THE FOOL
Copyright 1993, Paula Joy Welter
VERSE I:
wisdom
And straight is the path of the steadfast believer.
But twisted the road of the questioning Pilgrim;
Truth is a master at clever disguise…
Blessed be the fool who dares to ask why.
VERSE III:
They’d walked a long way in the name of religion
I wanted to tell them that Heaven is wide
But righteous leaves little room for discussion
So the truth of the matter was lost in the void
VERSE IV:
I wished them both well, as they turned to go
But they seemed afraid of an infidel’s love
All I could say is, ‘The god that I know has room for you both in the Kingdom above.”
CHORUS REPEATS
