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’
