Shannon Murray Your God Not Mine Lyrics

Walking through the redwoods of northern California
almost lost my mind.Their beauty, my insignificance,
their majesty and my shame.
Walking through independence grove I nearly lost my
lunch.
I read a sign that reminded me of how far we'd fallen
behind,
it 'said, 'The United States of America, the only
nation founded on God.�
Your god not mine.
Your god not mine.
My god is a mother, and yours is the dollar.
Your god not mine.
Your god not mine.
Walking down paths of history I almost lost everything.
Looking on the tragedies I can barely breathe, barely
sing.
Tell me why did we kill our brothers,
and tell me why did we cage our sisters and our
mothers?

And tell me why did we send our children to die for a god on high?
So you're cutting down the trees Mr. President,
and you're cutting down the people on their knees.
Praying to your god, the dollar.
Praying to your god not mine.
And I wonder how many lives you gave for a quick profit
in your pocket.
The United States of America, the only nation founded
on God.
Your god not mine.
Your god not mine.
My god is a mother, and yours is the dollar.
Your god not mine.
Your god not mine.
And I hear the economy isn't looking so hot these days;
must be time for another war.
We'll trade bodies for dollars, and be happier than we
were before.
The United States of America, the only nation founded
on God.
