Sam Juan Els

i was a boy, he was a priest

can i make this any more obvious?

i lit the candles before mass every week

what more can i say? 

 

i looked up to him, he looked down on me

with a funny look in his eyes, 

i offered to thelp him take off his robes

but he just sent me home

 

i was an altar boy

but i never felt the joy

of god's love inside me

i was rejected by

a priest and i still cry sometimes

when i think what might have been.
