Too Many Churches - Sofia Talvik
Too many churches was filmed on a drive between Palatka, FL and Tuscaloosa, AL- These are just a few of the churches I passed on the highway.
Lyrics
You know Maria was just sixteen
Or maybe fifteen and a half
When someone broke into her bedroom
And tore her world apart
Maybe it was a total stranger
Or someone that she knew
Anyway he wasn’t there to hold her
When that baby’s due
And you can talk about salvation
And what the Bible has to say
But there’s too many churches and too little love
In this world today
And do you remember Fritzl
He had a baby with his girl
She was locked into the basement
For years that was her only world
Maybe it’ll be the next messiah
Or he’ll invent the atom bomb
Anyway it’s not a call that you can make
For someone else’s womb
And you can talk about salvation
And what the Bible has to say
But there’s too many churches and too little love
In this world today
too many churches and too little love
In this world today
And when I’m driving through the country
I see houses falling down
People living under bridges
But there’s five churches in that town
And you can tell I don’t believe in
That there is a God above
But I believe there is compassion
We are capable of love
And if you talk about salvation
About a beating heart
But if you’re acting out of power
To tear us all apart
And you can talk about salvation
And what the Bible has to say
But there’s too many churches and too little love
In this world today
too many churches and too little love
In this world today
yeah there's too many churches and too little love
In this world today
