PREACHER’S KID

The devil has a bid, for every preacher’s kid,

To tease, to trip, to trap.

His trap is carefully made, “innocently” overlaid,

To spring, to seize, to snap.

“Reject your dad’s old ways, these are modern days,”

“Be fun, be full, be free.”

Before the last “rock” is sung, before the snare is sprung;

Oh see, oh hear, oh flee.
