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
