Questioning

I never questioned
When they told me that Jesus was real
Hanging on my father's wall
Above an antique dresser

When they told me Jesus was real
I believed the icon
Above an antique dresser
Threatening with a child's eternity

I believed the icon
That my parents made me pray to
Threatening with a child's eternity
I knew to fear the almighty

That my parents made me pray to
Until the night the cross fell
I knew to fear the almighty
Lying shattered on the floor

Until the night the cross fell
From my father's wall
Lying shattered on the floor
Because I learned to question
