You call yourselves holy,
children of God.
Your thoughts and behaviors
seem really quite odd
for those who are holy,
children of God.

You'd turn your back on your own mother
if she won't believe as you do.
You say it's the word of Jehovah
to shun away your brother, too.

children of God.
Your thoughts and behaviors
seem really quite odd

You call yourselves holy,
children of God.
Your thoughts and behaviors
seem really quite odd
for those who are holy,
children of God.
