If I Could Be the Pope |
| I was born a catholic and |
| Raised to be a sceptic |
| As far as the teaching’s concerned |
| I knew there was something |
| I’d always be searching |
| Through trial and error I learned |
| That noone will love me |
| And noone will save me |
| If I don’t love and I don’t save myself |
| And nothing from outside |
| Will bring me to glory |
| Not all the world’s books on my shelf |
| But if I could be the Pope |
| I’d show you the way |
| All regrets and fears I’d pray away |
| If I could be the Pope |
| I’d need no dope |
| For I’d be providing the best stuff called hope |
| If I could be the Pope, I would elope |
| All the virgins loosing their faith |
| I would sure ditch the rope |
| For I’d be the Pope |
| And that would be something with which I could cope |
| For I’d sure be that Pope. |
| I was christened unconscious |
| And grew up so anxious |
| To see where this whole tale could lead |
| I learned all commandments and thought I was going to |
| Be whole no problems indeed |
| But I found out that all this was highly unlikely to |
| Leave me forever in peace |
| And I’d still have the fears and regrets and I would be |
| always missing a piece. |
| But if I could be the Pope |
| I’d show you the way |
| All regrets and fears I’d pray away |
| If I could be the Pope |
| I’d need no dope |
| For I’d be providing the best stuff called hope |
| If I could be the Pope, I would elope |
| All the virgins loosing their faith |
| I would sure ditch the rope |
| For I’d be the Pope |
| And that would be something with which I could cope |
| For I’d sure be that Pope. |
| I’ve been tormented by reason |
| And accused of treason |
| When my wonderings questioned beliefs |
| I lived by the rules and was fed with old news |
| Like a tree without foliage and leaves. |
| But after a while I grew my own crown |
| And I knew I would have to get hold of my soul |
| And I knew that the clues are all given I’d just have to |
| Find them inside on my own. |
| But if I could be the Pope… |
| Oh, if I could be the Pope… |
| Maybe I should be the Pope… |
| Oh, if I could be the Pope… |
| Oh, if I could be the Pope |
| I would refine |
| All that is human and all that’s devine |
| If I could be the Pope |
| All would be fine |
| I’d reconcile time-space and business and crime |
| If I could be the Pope |
| I’d sing for the world |
| And I would invite all the saints for a drink |
| To tell me tall tales of heaven and earth |
| And grave jokes to laugh about death |
| Oh maybe I should be the Pope. |
