If I Could Be The Pope

Lyrics
I was born a catholic And raised to be a skeptic As far as the teaching's concerned I knew there was something I'd always be searching Through trial and error I learned That no one will love me And no one will save me If I don't love and I don't save myself And nothing from outside Will bring me to glory Not all the world's books on my shelf But if I could be the pope I'd show you the way All regrets and fears I'd pray away If I could be the pope I'd need no dope For I'd be providing the best stuff called hope If I could be the pope, I would elope All the virgins losing their faith And I would sure ditch the rope For I'd be the pope And that would be something with which I could cope For I'd sure be that pope I was christened unconscious And I grew up so anxious To see where this whole tale could lead I learned all commandments and thought I was going to be whole no problems indeed But I found out that all this Was highly unlikely To leave me forever in peace And I'd still have the fears And regrets and I would be Always missing a piece But if I could be the pope I'd show you the way All regrets and fears I'd pray away If I could be the pope I'd need no dope For I'd be providing the best stuff called hope If I could be the pope, I would elope All the virgins losing their faith I would sure ditch the rope For I'd be the pope And that would be something with which I could cope For I'd sure be that pope I was tormented by reason And accused of treason When my wonderings questioned beliefs I lived by the rules and was fed with old news Like a tree without foliage and leaves But after a while I grew my own crown And I knew I would have to get hold of my soul And I knew that the clues are all given I'd just have to find them inside on my own But if I could be the pope... Oh, if I could be the pope... Maybe I should be the pope... Oh, if I could be the pope... Oh, if I could be the pope I would refine All that is human And all that's devine If I could be the pope I would be fine I'd reconcile time-space And business and crime If I could be the pope I'd sing for the world And I would invite All the saints for a drink To tell me tall tales Of heaven and earth And grave jokes To laugh about death Oh, maybe I should be the pope
