I Don’t Want This to Be About God

I doƑ’t waƑƱ tƋiư to be abƒƲƗ God

God I don’t want this to be about God

God I’m embarrassed about the last time I believed in him

God I’ve tried that and it never worked

Well it worked some, but ‘cos I was lonely and sad

But I put that behind me but God

That didn’t turn out too well, maybe I should shut up and listen

God you think it unlikely there’s one

Well what other explanation do you have for all this being here?

Did a bubble of hot sea, and some fragments of rock

Rub together and somehow birth life?

Are you happy to accept as coincidence

In an infinite path of possibilities

Did this just happen?

Or is there too much here

For there not to be a driving force, a cause?

God I’m open and bursting with love from the eyes

God I’m climbing a hill to feel you in the sky

In the transcendence of a beautiful view

I feel like a child next to you

Like a child I unfold and awake

In the stream in the air I can throw my mistakes

And my chest falls and lifts ever new

I feel excited, alive, thanks to you
