The Gospel According to Helena

(c) 2007, Linford Detweiler, Over the Rhine


Damn
She loves to sing
She knows she may not even be that good
What does it mean when somebody
Loves to do something
So much
She
Doesn't care
Whether or not
It makes any sense to the world

What does it mean when somebody
Does something just because
It makes her feel more alive
Opens her eyes

What does it when somebody
Does something just because 
She's missing God
And wonders if she always will

She must know that all good songs
Are a form of prayer
