Lament
written by Woodrow Thomas
© June 25, 2014

I spoke with Mary, in her time of need. 
She said, "This happens, when you're carrying God's seed."
"I always hoped for a different fate for my son."
"But this could happen to anyone. "

The master had a servant, a different kind of boy. 
His sense of duty was replaced by a father's joy, 
But in the end it all came undone. 
But this could happen to anyone. 

So who have you become now? That's what I want to see. 
A Judas or a Jesus, it's all the same to me. 
But a family is like a tree standing in the sun.
And this could happen to anyone.

This could happen. Yes, this could happen. 
Oh, this could happen to anyone.
