1
Another sunday morning, another time to pray
2
A brand new dress to wear and a doll to put away
3
Another sermon, another hymn to sing
4
And on her hand a golden ring
5
On across the silent streets and to the church they came
6
Sheltered by the heavy walls and painted windows stained
7
Listenin' to the wisdom of the words the Bible told
8
And on her hand a ring of gold
9
Then the crackle and that clatter and the crinkle of the glass
10
Fell upon the people from the power of blast
11
The face of jesus was crumbled into sand
12
Nearby the gold ring on her hand
13
Then a scream tore through the morning air and carried down the street
14
Rage tore the hearts of men who leaped up to their feet
15
Old men grew hard and the young men grew cold
16
And on her hand a ring of gold
17
Then the speeches of the sorrow flowed into the town
18
And while the men were talking two more children were shot down
19
For that's the way when the law don't mean a thing
20
And on her hand a golden ring
21
More than pity, more than anger, can you feel what has been done
22
When hate can reach inside a church and mark the very young
23
The young will bear the scars when they're growing in this land
24
Rememberin' the gold ring on her hand
25
Another sunday morning, another time to pray
26
A brand new dress to wear and a doll to put away
27
Another sermon, another hymn to sing
28
And on her hand a golden ring
