Behind the Church

Behind  the church and out of sight is where i spent my days
whilst all the other kids around did games and "panto" plays
I could hear their laughs and blissful songs of glee
but i was forced to wait outside, religons not for me

but behind the church i sat and cried to be the same as them
and laugh and sing and clap my hands and really shout AMEN
behind the church is where, i met the gardener named Ted
he told me stories of a man, who fed thousands with some bread
he heald the broken hearted and even raised the dead

this gardener was a gentleman whose hair was snowy White
behind the church twas where i did learn between wrong and right
and how the Son of God came down to show us all the way
to love each other and sacrifice so we can make our way

and now im grown yet remember still the lessons i did learn
and cry no more do i about not fitting in
and thank the teacher at sunday school for not letting me in
