Analysis of Question or Answer
Doreene Felder 1967 (Phila.)
God holds the key to every question you must ask
God holds the answer to every answer you may need
Be careful who may answer the question that you ask
Not all have your best interest
And that's really sad.
When someone gives you the wrong answer
To the question that you have asked
Rest for sure their punishment will be from your Dad
When people do you wrong
And you're already doing bad
Careful for sure they know not who's your Dad
He's a chestizing father
To his sons and his daughters
He will keep you inline
When you get out of order
He will show you who cares
When no one is there
He will show you his plan
When you can't understand.
