I woke up this morning
And I turned on the news
It was a Sunday morning

They were sitting in the pews
The doctor's wife was in the choir
She was about to sing

She saw it all in front of her
And she heard that awful ring


In the name of God he held his pistol
Pointed at the doctor's head
In the name of God he pulled the trigger

Now the doctor's lying dead

Dr. Tiller had a family

Three daughters and a son
Two girls were both doctors
Who were proud of what he'd done

They knew someone had to do something
Before they left this world behind
If it wasn't them then who would serve

The cause of womankind

In the name of God...


This is not Afghanistan
It's the Heartland USA

Where a girl has to wonder
If she'll get acid in her face
Where they bomb the women's clinics

Because the preacher told them to
Where the man there on the TV
Tells them that's what they should do


In the name of God...
