lyrics

she was raised a good girl for a world of care
her father worked for the church
her mother had a sticker on her car that said

"My Daughter Is A Proud Catholic Graduate"
and nothing in her future would stop her

she went off at 18 for the dreams she had
knew no matter what if she prayed she'd never feel bad
kept a cross on her wall
if Christ watched she'd never fall

one night her roommate had some friends over
and in a state of unknowing knocked it down
she came back shocked and boldly horrified
would God look at her like she did the cross on the ground?

and thus sparked a mental rebellion
a test to see if maybe she had been wrong
about how life was supposed to be lived
she still held onto her faith but not as tightly wound as before
and she learned that others can make choices of their own
without judgement and guilt looming over them every step of the way

her family never saw her again
she was alive and well but no one she knew from
the first 18 years of her life knew that
so they held a funeral
and her weeping mother read
"My Daughter Is A Proud Catholic Graduate"
and nothing in her future would stop her
