Johnny C. Lately - Lament (This Could Happen to Anyone) Lyrics

I spoke with Mary, in her time of need
She said, "This happens, when you're carrying God's seed"
"I always hoped for a different fate for my son"
"But this could happen to anyone"

The master had a servant, a different kind of boy
His sense of duty was replaced by a father's joy
But in the end it all came undone
But this could happen to anyone

So who have you become now? That's what I want to see
A Judas or a Jesus, it's all the same to me
But a family is like a tree standing in the sun
And this could happen to anyone

This could happen. Yes, this could happen
Oh, this could happen to anyone
