What the Priest did
Girl only sixteen in third row
Blonde hair, brown innocent eyes
Wearing that blue dress to church
Popular priest standing at the altar
Telling the gathered to believe in
Jesus, God and the holy ghost
If only the people knew
If only the believers knew
If only God was watching
What the priest did
next
After the believers
left
When the girl was
alone
What the priest did
to that girl
Left her violated,
without any dignity
Yet the priest can’t
utter the word “Sorry”
Girl cried all the way home
Told her horror story to her mum
Mum said it was all a lie.
The Priest told his colleagues
What he had done to that sweet girl
They said “Never mind, we’ll move you on”
If only the whole city knew
If only the whole country knew
If only the Lord was watching.
What the priest did
next
After the believers
left
When the girl was
alone
What the priest did
to that girl
Left her violated,
without any dignity
The church still won’t
say the word “sorry
The girl had never felt so lonely
She felt so ashamed and worried
While the priest got away scot free
If only her parents knew
If only the police knew
If only God watched this mess
What the priest did
next
After the believers
left
When the girl was
alone
What the priest did
to that girl
Left her violated,
without any dignity
Why can’t the church
say “sorry”?
