Against what you've learned
You can trust what you read
And believe every word
From a language we no longer speak
Life is a gift
Your only concern: "is there life after this"
Am I worthy of earning my wings
Is there room on the list for someone who needs to see proof you exist
It's just not that easy for me
It's just not that easy
Something's still missing
You promised that it would materialize
It's there if you listen
I swear that I must not be hearing you right
With God as my witness, I've made it my business to be on his side
And somehow I'll never be sure
But I'll keep asking why
Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes
Always on trial
Hoping the verdict will make this worthwhile
Can someone please tell me the score
I'll be on the fence until you stand up and take credit for this
The truth is, I'd rather not know
I'll pray that the rest will make up for all of the days that I've missed
It won't be so easy for me
It's just not that easy
Something's still missing
You promised that it would materialize
It's there if you listen
I swear that I must not be hearing you right
With God as my witness, like nobody's business, you know that I've tried
And somehow I'll never be sure
But I'll keep asking why
Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes
