Would It Really Be a Sin

from The Heart Collector by Adam Levy

/

lyrics

Would it really be a sin
To write God's holy name on the head of a pin
If I'm playing a game I never can win
Would it really be a sin

Would it really be a wrong
If I walk in a garden where I don't belong
If I hide all of my fear in the verse of a song
Would it really be a wrong

Who makes the law, who holds the gavel
Who says the man with the ball can't travel
Who says we can't eat the cake before dinner begins

Would it really be a crime
If I still need a drink after closing time
If I empty the piggy of his last dime
Would it really be a crime

Who makes the rules, who runs the lockup
Heaven is waiting, one day I'll walk up
Right to the gate, take a bite, is it made out of tin

Would it really be a sin
If I dance with the devil's identical twin
Now I'm playing a game I never can win
Would it really be a sin
Would it really be a sin
Would it really be a sin
