Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spirituality versus religion
One is a beautiful dove, one is a pigeon
One is the spirit of love, one of division
And let's not forget
All the superstition
[Verse 2]
Religion versus spirituality
One says you ought to be a little bit more like me, me
The other says, everyone must be free
Must be
Religion versus spirituality
One's about faith, one is certainty
Certainly
[Verse 3]
Spirituality versus religion
One is a beautiful dove, one is a pigeon
One is the spirit of love, one is division
And let's not forget, that silly superstition
Silly, silly
Let's not ever forget
The superstition

“Religion vs Spirituality,” Mark’s wry opener, turns theology into street poetry—pigeon and dove circling the same sky, both claiming to be the Spirit.
