Some say I take my faith way too seriously,
And I considered their thoughts…

This occurred to me:
I took my sin so seriously,
That my pleasure meant more to me than others;
I became such an expert,
That all I had was me;
I was left with nothing;

I remember a man
Who took what he knew so seriously,
It was the only thing he talked about,
It was the only way he lived;
It bothered many,
They came to hate him,
And they killed him;

He did such a great job,
They named the faith after him;
Now many follow him;
Many worship him;
Many are changed by him;
Many will not be destroyed because of him;

What he said has been supported
By what happened to him:
He came back;

I will then continue as I have been...



...Seriously.
