letra de my atheist sister - the rough & tumble

[verse 1]
my sister and all her friends
they get together on the weekends
they drink some wine and sing some hymns
they know by heart but don’t believe in
and they pack socks and clean water
and granola bars in paper bags
and hand them out to the unhoused
my atheist sister and all of her friends

[verse 2]
my sister, she won the award–
“atheist of the year”
she takes sick days and goes to the capitol
swears on the bible and bends some ears about
equal rights for her daughter and
for all the people living here
i’ve never believed in her more
than when she won the award “atheist of the year”

[bridge 1]
as her kids grow, and we all know
the award isn’t just for herself
it’s for all the years of work
of keeping the bible she was beat with off of her shelf, and
she believes in things unseen
like what holds us together and gravity
and empathy and charity
and even believers like me
[verse 3]
the award, it sits on the shelf
by the moonshine that i bought her and the boxes of wine
next to it sits the upright piano
where she plays the doxology late in the night

[bridge 2]
when you’re scared and full of doubt
and for your sins, god cast you out
who will love you without fear?
an atheist in riot gear

[verse 4]
my sister and all her friends
they get together on the weekends
they drink some wine and sing some hymns
they know by heart but don’t believe in
because belief is a funny thing–
it don’t much matter what you think
but only about what you bring
and the harmony you choose to sing, so

[tag]
here’s a song to sing with them
my atheist sister and all of her friends
amen

- the rough tumble
