Lyrics

A Life Raft Is Not A Home

Longed to be Godly, had a problem with theology
Wouldn’t say my prayers, religion was mythology
Wanted to remember what I knew
But needed a formula for a break through

A life raft is not a home, it moves when you stand
Laying low and hanging on is what it demands

Thought a woman friend might be the answer
But all she wanted was a real good dancer
Tried meditation, needed calmin’ down
It brought my pain to the foreground

A life raft is not a home, it moves when you stand
Laying low and hanging on is what it demands

Met some good people at the local church
They were filled with faith that had ended their search
All were true believers, it gave me the blues

They believed all they’d heard on the Fox News

A life raft is not a home, it moves when you stand
Laying low and hanging on is what it demands

Went to psycho therapy with the very best
Took some LSD for the next step
Looked for the crack that let’s the light in
No big insights much to my chagrin

A life raft is not a home, it moves when you stand
Laying low and hanging on is what it demands

Never got the answers, didn’t take vows
Wouldn’t bow down to the sacred cows
Accepted that you can’t escape misery
Learned to live in grace and embrace the mystery

Learned to live in grace and embrace the mystery
