about

Inspired mostly by the Bible.

lyrics

When I thought that the world was safe
I read a book that told me that
No one is safe.
How can that be
When you're near me?
And I thought,
"How can it be so bad?
No, it can't be."

And when I thought that the world was ok,
I read a book that told me that
Nothing's ok.
How could that be
When I'm happy?
And I thought,
"How could it be so bad?
No, it can't be."

And when I thought that the world was saved,
I read a book that told me that
So few are saved.
How could that be?
Oh God, spare me!
And I thought,
"How could it be so bad?
No, it can't be."
And I thought,
"How could it be so bad?
No, it can't be.
No, it can't be.
No, it can't be."
