IT MUST HAVE BEEN
MID-AFTERNOON
I COULD TELL BY
HOW FAR
THE CHILD'S SHADOW
STRETCHED OUT
AND HE WALKED
WITH A PURPOSE
IN HIS SNEAKERS
DOWN THE STREET
HE HAD MANY
QUESTIONS
LIKE CHILDREN
OFTEN DO
HE SAID TELL ME
ALL YOUR
THOUGHTS ON GOD
AND TELL ME
AM I VERY FAR
MUST HAVE BEEN
LATE AFTERNOON
ON OUR WAY THE
SUN BROKE
FREE OF THE CLOUDS
AND WE COUNT ONLY
BLUE CARS
SKIP THE CRACKS
IN THE STREET
AND ASK MANY
QUESTIONS
LIKE CHILDREN
OFTEN DO
WE SAID TELL ME ALL
YOUR THOUGHTS ON GOD
'CAUSE I'D REALLY
LIKE TO MEET HER
AND ASK HER WHY
WE'RE WHO WE ARE OOH
AND TELL ME ALL
YOUR THOUGHTS ON GOD
'CAUSE I'M ON MY
WAY TO SEE HER
SO TELL ME AM I VERY FAR
AM I VERY FAR NOW
IT'S GETTING COLD
PICKED UP THE PACE
HOW OUR SHOES MAKE
HARD NOISES
IN THIS PLACE
OUR CLOTHES ARE STAINED
WE PASS MONEY
'CROSS OUR PEOPLE
AND ASK MANY QUESTIONS
LIKE CHILDREN OFTEN DO
TELL ME ALL YOUR
THOUGHTS ON GOD
'CAUSE I'D REALLY
LIKE TO MEET HER
AND ASK HER WHY
WE'RE WHO WE ARE OOH
TELL ME ALL YOUR
THOUGHTS ON GOD
'CAUSE I'M ON MY
WAY TO SEE HER
SO TELL ME AM I VERY
FAR AM I VERY FAR NOW
WE'RE NOT
VERY FAR NOW
WE'RE NOT
VERY FAR NOW
OOH OOH OOH OOH
OOH OOH OOH
