Panning For Gold

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'
