The Roots of Religion lie deep in the mind
Some of it's cruel and some of it's kind
Some of it's good and some of it's bad
Some of it's joyful and some of it's sad
The Roots of Religion lie deep in the past
Many Ages ago when first it was cast
From paintings in caves and stone pillars raised high
And searching for signs from the lights in the sky
Shamen and Priests and Wise Men of Old
Amongst these The Secrets were whispered and told
Magicians and Sorcerers were there as well
With Enchantments and Omens and many a Spell
They worshipped The Earth, The Sun and The Moon
The Stars in The Heavens were charted quite soon
The Great Cosmic Order was looked on with awe
And they honoured and worshipped the marvels they saw
They worshipped The Spirits and they worshipped The Dead
(And even some men who were strange in the head)
Great Towers and Pyramids went soaring above
Some worshipped The Hawk and some worshipped The Dove
Dances were danced and potions imbibed
Orders were given to be circumcised
But people were burnt and curses were screamed
Philosophers pondered and The Dreamers they dreamed
In search of Great Truths - Great Prices were paid
With great pain and suffering were sacrifices made
Great Gods were granted their Great Powers on High
And their Chariots of Fire raced by in The Sky
In pursuit of Salvation, The Truth and The Right
Many wars have been fought - Many homes set alight
So many have perished when never they should
The Great Cross of Religion is dripping with blood
And so many religions have come and gone
And many religions will go on and on
But if there is ONE THING to keep in your mind
IT'S... 'TRY TO BE HUMAN AND TRY TO BE KIND'
