lyrics

Night dies
The moonrise
Will be with us again
I swear to you

In a funny sort of way
I'll never learn to pray
In the rightest of ways
Like you seem to do

Like you seem to do
Yes, you do

How can I pray
To a god who forsakes
A god who forgives
A god who kills?

How can I say
That I never will stray
From the Great God above
How can I say?

But the birds have their faith
And the worms dig their holes
To a god in the ground
Who they know is the one

Who they know is the one
What if he is the one?

There's a cloud in the sky
That looks like the hand
Of a much higher man
That knows more than I

And I look at the trees
All over this land
And I wonder how this could be
How could this be?

If there is a god above
He sends forth his wrath
To the ones who need love the most
I don't believe in that

I don't believe in that
Don't believe in that
