Tailored Truth

by Serena Eddlemon

Verse 1:

Excuse me, ma'am,

Do you have another size?

This one's just

A little bit too tight.

And do you have that one in blue?

If you don't mind, I'd like to try that too.

If It doesn't really match.

Just pick a new design.

Always finding

A new way to define.

Now this is Christianity,

Truth perfectly conformed to me.

Chorus:

Cause if it's not comfortable to wear

Or if people start to stare,

I take out my sewing kit.

From head to toe. I take a measure.

And then I begin to tailor

A faith that fits.

Verse 2:

A little bit of this

With some of those on the side.

Just pick out the things

That I don't like.

Make an addition or subtraction —

It's all about my current satisfaction

Bridge:

But it's a one-size-fits-all faith.

And the truth cannot be reshaped.

Chorus:

Cause if it's not comfortable to wear

Or if people start to stare,

I take out my sewing kit.

From head to toe I take a measure,

And then I begin to tailor

A faith that fits.

Make things a little more convenient,

Be a little bit more lenient.

Bend and twist and mold

Until it can be sold.
