TAINTED CHILD
Tainted child
She walked all night long
Then she rested
And then she moved on
To the lawn of sooty daisies
Savior, take me,
Savior, take me, take me…
All around
She sees constant grins
Afraid that she might
Commit the worst of all sins
And that fear will drive her crazy
Savior, take me,
Savior, take me, take me
Take me to
Your generous arms
And embrace me
Show me the sign
Burn my bones and forgive me
Savior, take me
Savior, take me, take me,
Take me…
(M. Petrak)
