I forgive my father for I know now no one knows what they are doing God is just the universe patiently reworking what we ruin Human nature bends it's ear and turns it's back Against the fear that turns to under-ride our questions Circling in the suspension Are we born just to die? And left the whole time wondering why the world is full of suffering What makes it all worthwhile? Are we given just to take? Has it been a big mistake? 'Cause if someone made up all of this, I'd wanna ask them Why? I forgive my mother for I know now every vanity's a promise Spirit is the lifelong dirty work of learning to be honest The infant whines and takes the nip And to the wheel of death she slips No wonder then we always start off crying All together too tired of trying Are we born just to die? And left the whole time wondering why the world is full of suffering What makes it all worthwhile? Are we given just to take? Has it been a big mistake? 'Cause if someone made up all of this I'd wanna ask them Why, why? Why would you call us out to walk upon the waters? You fill the sea with monsters and waves Praise God who listens Praise God who saves Praise God who listens Praise God who saves I forgive myself for I know now that desires burns down slowly And time's a cosmic river that we measure To make sense of where we're going All of our collectidy goes grit their teeth beg for Freedom suddenly in the form of our discomfort Till we learn the point is loving one another We'll be born just to die and spend our small lives wondering Why we cause each other suffering What makes it all worthwhile? Are we given just to take? Has it been a big mistake? 'Cause if someone made up all of this I'd wanna ask them Why, why, why?
