I Have Sinned, And I Loved It

 

I Have Sinned, and I Loved It!

To all people, I just wanted to say

When you sin, some sins are okay

I'm not exactly sure who decides, what is a sin

They need to update their rule book, I say with a grin

I hear religious people say, they can't do it because it's a sin

If I couldn't do it, I would surely jump out of my skin

I recall one lady saying, if you watch Star Trek it's a sin

Who makes up these rules in the sin book, I just can't win

When she said Spock is the devil, I just had to laugh

She looked at me, as if she thought I was a giraffe

You can't listen to rock music, it's not good for the soul

A sin? Not sure about you, but it makes me feel more whole

Sure glad Mama gave us the choice, on what to believe

Because that sin book they wrote, sure taught to deceive

I never had need for a sin book, not at all

I have no limitations, I never built a wall

There are sins, people say, but I call them crimes

Sins were from long ago, move ahead with the times

I know I'll offend many, but my voice must be heard

The list of sins from the sin book, is really absurd

What feels okay, isn't a sin, but is really alright

Some say I sinned, but I really took flight

You know right from wrong, if you use your heart and mind

And you can move through this world, leaving the sins behind

I never cared for the word sin. And the preacher up front

talking about sins and how wrong they are. As he raises

his voice and points out at the people sitting down. I return

home and start to cry (I was a kid). I have not sinned!

We've come a long way since those days. To me, when you

have a good head that reasons and thinks and follows the

law of the heart and mind, you know right from wrong.

No need to“sin,” so no need to do anything wrong. As

humans, we will always make some mistakes. But we

learn from them. We grow from them.

We become better as humans.
