Well, this is a little deep, but The Light by the Proclaimers. I've been in some serious socio-political debates with uber-religious family members recently. It's basically about how someone can be religious and yet mind their own business and not have to shove religion down other people's throats.
You make it sound easy
You say "you just hold your hand out," don’t you
"You just hold your hand out," don’t you?
That hope never leaves you
’cos a light shines on that helps you to steer
Makes everything clear
(well it might)
Well it might in your world
(but it doesn’t)
But it doesn’t in mine
(I’ve been stumbling)
I’ve been stumbling in the dark for years
And the light just made me blind
You say it lights every pathway
Shows me how to live life
For the rest of my days
For the rest of my days
(but I can’t)
But I can’t put my faith in
(your words)
Your words and demands
(I believe)
I believe in God alright
It’s folk like you I just can’t stand
You don’t have to try and scare me
To reinforce my faith, sir
’cos I know that one day
I’ll stand before my Maker
(and it I’m found)
And if I’m found wanting
(when my case)
When my case is heard
(it’ll be)
It’ll be by the Author
Not some interpreter of His words
You make it sound easy
You say "you just hold your hand out," don’t you
"You just hold your hand out," don’t you?
That hope never leaves you
’cos a light shines on that helps you to steer
Makes everything clear
(well it might)
Well it might in your world
(but it doesn’t)
But it doesn’t in mine
(I’ve been stumbling)
I’ve been stumbling in the dark for years
And the light just made me blind
Yeah the light just made me blind
