Lyrics
St Catherine's Catholic school
God's wisdom do proclaim
We were taught the golden rule
And the righteousness of blame
Father Sean said pass the plate
Same sermon, different version
My allowance was fair game
In his faith play of coercion
So sorry, sister Thomasina
That I still know your name must please you
Vanity and glory
Sticking to the story
I trust all is well in heaven
Down here I forgot the lesson
Sister Thomasina reigned
St Catherine's Catholic school
Fractions were not her thing
But she held sway with her ruler
Catherine wore a crown of thorns
Spurned another made of gold
Tried to help the sick and poor
The hungry and the old
So sorry, Catherine of the lillies
From the 20th century in Los Angeles
Mercy for those who
Took long to know you
I trust all is well in heaven
Down here I'll review the lesson
St Catherine of Siena
Who knew you could inspire
Born 1347 to set the world on fire
Radical mystic girl
Spite your mother, cut your hair
Had the bishops in a whirl
With dialogues and prayers
So sorry, Catherine of the lillies
This world has remained broken clearly
Thought we might have made some progress
Future is any fool's guess
I trust all is well in heaven
Down here I have learned my lesson
