Lyrics:
Say that i need to be saved
Say with me the devils got his way
I want to know how when you are praying
And when you are doomsdaying
How you think you know that someone is listening to what you are saying
CHORUS
So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that's been devised
I wonder, I wonder
When we'll be rid of your lies
Say I need to hear the truth
A sales-pitch of eternal life and eternal youth
All these blessings you are bestowing
Upon the one you say is all-knowing
Are they really deserved if He is sending me where you say I am going?
CHORUS
So you think that you
Can tell us how to live our lives
Never questioning the source from which your moral code derives
You think that suffering is part of some great plan that's been devised
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
What will it take for you
To start opening your eyes
To start questioning the bullshit everyone around you buys
You think it's any of your business what goes on between my thighs?
I wonder, I wonder,
When we'll be rid of your lies

Athiest have been blessed with this wonderful song
BEST.SONG.EVER!! Beautiful voice, and message!!
+Deb Found Thanks Deb :)
I don't know which version I like the best. I don't have a favourite between the two versions. *"What will it take for you to start opening your eyes, to start questioning the bullshit everyone around you buys? I wonder, I wonder when we'll be rid of your lies."* My thinking exactly!
hear hear :D
Beautiful Lady, beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics, I love your music!
I especially like to crank it up in my North Dakota apartment on Sunday mornings when all of my neighbors are going to church.
Thanks Zedoomeloo!
Crank it up :) :)
All the best
I listen and listen. Great, one of my favorite songs.
Heard you on The Atheist Experience. You fucking rock. :)
+D Jones Oh why thank U :)
An acoustic version... not sure which is my favorite., this or your duet with Matt. My wife is a christian and yet has this catchy song stuck in her head. Progress.
Hehe, little skeptic earworms :D
Thanks Christopher!
Your music is absolutely wonderful and beautiful and so are you.
Beautiful!! Simply, beautiful 😍 ❤
I've loved your music since I first discovered you on The Thinking Atheist. It's hard to choose a favorite song from this album; their all awesome! This song is certainly one of my favorites though. Nice video too.
+Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French I just discovered her that way also. Looking forward to hearing more from her
+Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French I discovered her searching flying pigs.

and thank you for commenting
This song it's been in my head all week. Love it!
Awesome! thanks :)
Beautiful as always.
Thanks so much Lizzie
Lovely.
Just found this channel, it's amazing! Keep up the good work!
How is this not in the top of the charts? If it wasn't an atheist song it would be. If she was singing about Jesus this would be all across the country on the radio
Love your beautiful voice & music! Thank you for all you do, Shelley!! This video (acoustic Saved) however seems like it might have some clipping/distortion of your voice at the peak moments...
You're amazing. I'm glad you're an atheist. Almost everybody I know is religious and they pray for everything, all the time... I find it illogical. When I ask them questions about all the contradictions of the bible and prayer itself, they simply have no response, the denial runs so deep that they just stonewall me.
Thanks Fate. I used to be religious. I read the old testament with some serious blinkers guided by those around me and I trusted them - it made sense to. Reading it the first time without those blinkers was quite a shock!
Amazing song!
Thank you Terrell
beautiful
+Kyle Klatt :)
TAE, brought me here. Great song, beautiful voice.
Thanks Tom
Shelley Segal yes.great song,both versions. must have played it 10+ times today.. catchy tune 😁
Thanks Will!
LOL, I watched this right after the atheist experience. They could use a new theme song, and I like this!
+cujomade101 hehe! I was so excited to be on the show. Been watching for years and years
Well done!
Talented and gorgeous. Love your music Shelly.
Danke für alles.
i fall love with your beautiful voice
Great album
Thanks!
Smart. Talented. Rational. Such an amazing person!
Your voice is stunning.
Why thank you :D
Great music. Great voice usage. Great truth in lyrics.
Thanks heaps Hans :)

THanks Justin. So glad you like it
:) There's a full band version too :P
Love
Love it and I have to admit I'm crushing on Shelly hard. So beautiful 😉
+Chris Loomis ;)
Awesome song! I've heard the *other* version of *"Saved",* and I love it. But this is also awesome! :)
Great song. Also, I like your face. :)
Hey Shelley, they are using this song on the Atheist Experience now!
+Alessandro B I know!!!!! I'm so happy
+Shelley Segal
Congratulations on your song being on the atheist experience!!! Me and my wife enjoy your music! My wife Kellee, has faith and its songs like this i can expose to her without her getting so offended. Thank you for all your hard work! Im really greatful I found your song.
Keep being AWESOME Shelley!
+Josh Chandler Thanks so much for your message Josh :)
Please send my regards to Kellee. I have some other songs she might not mind ;)
Gratitude or Apocalyptic Love Song both talk about a freethinking perspective without attacking
Thanks again!
i heared you sing on the reson rally you can be like adle eventho she is much older but there is no money no attention for athiets humanists but its gona change eventually. Keep singing the same song keep perfecting youre performance. I can imagine you big leage. Its so sad that our cause compared to the rebublican religious right does not have the capacities to make you shine like a star.
💚
Not an atheist, but a Quaker who escaped Evangelical Christianity.
Beautiful! The republican clowns managed to turn me into a hopeless cynic, but this gives me back some hope for the alien country across the ocean.
Hey Carol.
little bit of audio reverb in some parts. probably just youtube encoding.
+TheToric Nice pick up :P
you have a great voice and amazing songs. however the person doing the engineering is not really good for you. the mic has a peak in the frequency range that is not flattering to your voice (he should pic a different ic, different preamp and play with the distance, pattern and such. not having the right reverb and a bit of delay, and i mean just a hint, just enough to keep the intimacy but add a little sparkle, is a problem. like ams program 4. really any reverb where the reflections have been removed, so you can not identify the space, but still get the effect.
Thanks Rohadt. Hopefully this new stuff is avoiding those problems? czcams.com/video/k2_hQTCd0JE/video.html
Shelley Segal
thank you so much for that. i came across you in the theme song of the atheist experience, and enjoy your songs very much.
there is a lot of improvement in the song you linked. that was a different mic, probably a better mic pre, but i am still not happy with the way they are doing the dynamics and the reverb on the voice. please know, i am only making observations about what the engineer is doing, and only personal preferences on that. i am listening in a studio listening environment, i doubt most people with computers would be picking up on these things. btw, the solo in the song is awesome. is he doing it on a violin trying to mimic a sax? just great.
The violinist is playing on an electric and she is just phenomenal! She also does a lot of work with loops and is in a band called The Twoks :)
Love! Was this filmed in NOLA?
+Christine Akers London!
I love the song, but someone clipped the audio in this video and it's annoying me like crazy.

This is my kind of "gospel".
:D
Lovely voice beautiful song.
if you don´t have a Portugês fan yet...
I'll be the first one!!!
=))
Thanks Eman :) :)
You are so beutiful!
Very pretty song. I like the message. However, I feel as though you need to be a lot more subtle to reach the people you need to be reaching. Sort of preaching to the quire with this one. Just my opinion, and I'm nowhere near as talented as you are.
+ProtoUltima Thanks!
Sometimes the choir need a good ol song to sing :)
This is one a bit more subtle -czcams.com/video/T6K5mQ_BR6g/video.html
Jesus just she a tear. How DARE you?
