I saw God by the river
Panning for gold
I saw God by the river
Weary and old
He said,
"Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know"
I saw God in the forest
Teaching tai chi to the trees
In the wind
And bowing to the seas
He said
"Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know"
I saw God on the mountain
Tearing at the sky
I saw God on the mountain
With tears in his eyes
He said,
"Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know
I could have shown you all the beauty in the world
But now I need you to show me
"Yes, show me"
