At St. Claire's School Religion class
Began with mass each day
It was said in Latin then
That's how I learned to pray
The nuns appeared in black and white
And so did every rule
Things were either wrong or right
At St. Claire's Catholic School
Hosanna, Hosanna in excelsis, excelsis
But then the rules began to change
And many lost their way
What was always black and white
Was turning shades of gray
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord
Though mass it said in English now
To make us more aware
Confusion seemed to reign Supreme
But God it's everywhere
The Churh is quite aggressive now
Though people riducle the fact that
So mayn things are optional
It's hard to find a rule
But through it all I've often said
Those ancient Latin prayers
That I first learned when growing up
Catholic at St. Claire's
Hosanna, Hosanna in excelsis, in excelsis, in excelsis, in excelsis
