Home of the Black Sheep

Sacred is the home of the Black Sheep
Where outcast souls can come to rest
From shards of shattered light on family truths
And the burden of the broken picket fence 

You might wonder how you got here
There is no reason to feel ashamed
Being different from your kin is not a worry
It is your differentness they want to blame 

Here is a place where you can live truly
Be yourself, relax and feel safe
There  are two main rules of this homestead
Be sober and pull your own weight 

Words are said openly and frankly
Each person owns their circumstance and fate
Laughter is pure, from open hearts
No one faults another for their own mistakes 

Everyone is treated as equals
There are many straight up debates
Don't bring in any head games
It's okay to call time out for a break 

Stay as long as you want to
You are here to let go of your past
Sacred is the home of the Black Sheep
Where outcast souls can come to rest.
