Fire And Brimstone

I wasn't brought up to fear God
But to have faith in the Lord
And I must pause and say
I think belief gets in the way
As you dip into what you know
But the experience doesn't go 
From the place where the lightning meet 
And I could see the sun in the street 
As it bounced up from the ground 
Like love had found a sound 
And even though I'm in a convent school
I find ways to test the rule 
That keeps us held in firm place
But you wouldn't know it from my face 
As we kick it in the mall on our half day
And the teacher finds us with something to say
And I'm just there with my two gals
And it's like we've just trespassed pals
As we're told where we should be 
But it's summer and our days are free 
And I cannot see how the made St. Mel's 
Seem like temptation straight from hell
And now I know that within those walls
Was held something that someday entralls
Though not with less but more of law
As I curtail my fatal flaw
Of loving more deeply than the other 
And I would settle for a soul brother
But we're at odd and never even
So I write a song about loving Stephen
You know that guy I met in the room 
Now he's telling me there's no need to doom
Every single thing I do
But I can't admit my love for you
And the fact that I ran
From the possibility that you can 
Call me back to what I am
