Am I not
Good to you
With tenderness and passion?
Am I not
The words on your page
The values of your faith?
Am I not
The keeper of your heart
Held with reference and loyalty?

I’m not a saint
I’m not a saint

Am I not
Patient and kind
Always constant and forgiving?
Am I not
The peaceful dove
Sworn to fly above your offering?
Am I not
The mother you’ve lost
Eternally caring for you?

I’m not a saint
I’m not a saint

Will you try to see my humanity?
Will you try to understand
The imperfections of man?

Am I not
The listener that waits
To unlock your past?
Am I not
The supporter of all
The times you seem to falter?
Am I not
The provider of hope
To dispel all the darkness?

I’m not a saint
I’m not a saint
