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
