Hey God

lyrics

Hey God,
We've been building this thing all wrong.
Matthew's made the wall too high
And Judy's put the trees inside, and I...
I'm afraid of the sky.

Hey God,
Getting worried about my friends.
They've begun to argue now, some
Speak a different tongue somehow
I fear I'm unable to hear.

When I think of all the work to do,
I'm scared of disappointing you
I'm not cut out to speak your mind.
If you showed me something etched in stone,
I couldn't get the message wrong-- obscure what we were meant to find.

Hey God,
We've been wandering for so long...
Joan believes she smells the sea, but
John's becoming strange to me, I know
He wants to tempt me below.

When you promised us a by and by,
I never thought to wonder why.
It's hard for me to understand.
The plan is far too byzantine.
I need to know you're no disease;
the mystery as old as man.

Hey God,
We've been wondering where you've gone.
In your silence some are hearing
Voices of their own appearing, who
Have been mistaken for you...
