Fist Pump and a Grin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Were You Born In a
\n\u201cSinners In the Hands of An Angry God\u201d
\nNeighborhood,<\/p>\n

Taught At Your Mother\u2019s Knee
\nThat Your Reason To Be –
\nBorn Sinner That You Are –
\nIs To Become
\nEverything You Are Not?<\/p>\n

I Call Nonsense On That.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re Made of Pure Light,
\nTaking a Ride Through
\nWhat\u2019s Left of
\nThe Garden of Eden.<\/p>\n

Just Be You,
\nWith a Fist Pump
\nand a Grin.<\/p>\n

If You Find Yourself
\nMisbehaving,
\nYou\u2019ve Got a Whole Bag of
\nSoulful Tricks.<\/p>\n

Pick the Ones
\nDipped In Love<\/p>\n

Any Other Tricks
\nAre Soaked In Fear,
\nDesigned To Exercise The Ego.<\/p>\n

You Don\u2019t Need Those.<\/p>\n

Just Flip a Loving Bird
\nAt That Jonathan Edwards Dude,<\/p>\n

But Remember to Smile,
\nWith a Fist Pump and a Grin.<\/p>\n
