"I cannot improve on what you have created
I cannot impress you with the things that I see
I never have asked you for too many favors

Would I be foolish to not follow you?
But I have the strength to walk past all that you have
I will not walk in my father's shoes

Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical."
