Need For Religion

M.L. Kortes

I searched the blue horizon

And underneath my bed

For faith and hope and peace of mind

To put inside my head

So I looked for an alter

I learned to pray

Just like you're supposed to do

Maybe it's just my need for religion

That made me believe in you

You have a certain charm

That's undeniable and strange

I gave you all of my best emotions

My heart, my home

My spare change

You showed me ten commandments

You talked in tongues

Each syllable sounded true

But it was just my need for religion

That made me believe in you

Yea it was just my need for religion

That swept me away

And you laughed while I prayed

I pass you on the sidewalk

And I don't mean to be rude

But when I see you with your new disciple

I am filled with gratitude

That I ran from the rapture

Tore up my prayers

Now I know what God only knew

That it was just my need for religion

That made me believe in you

It was just my need for religion

That made me believe in you

It was just my need for religion

That made me believe

Made me believe in

Made me believe in you...
