God?
The Dodos Lyrics

No one to hold, no place to lie
We are all alone without anyone to comfort us.

I know we're all alone and still
I understand and acknowledge that we are alone.

You come to brush this gray aside
You bring happiness to our unhappy lives.

I know, I know, it's fate I feel
I believe that it is our destiny to feel this way.

You answer to our hungry eyes
You are the one we look up to for answers.

I hope, I hope this must be real
I wish that what you offer us is true and not false.

We need you now, we need to heal
We require your help to cure our wounds.

Oh no, oh no, oh God, where'd you go?
We are feeling lost and we want to know where you are.

You give us love, we have to hide
You grant us affection, but we must conceal it.

I know, I know, it's shades of gray
I acknowledge that it is not entirely black and white.

You give us hope and give us strife
You give us both inspiration and struggle.

I know, I know, this price we pay
I understand that we must pay a cost for what we receive.

You tell me no, you ask me why
You deny us something and question our intentions.

I know, I know, your patient ways
I recognize that you are tolerant and considerate.

You wait until we see the light
You wait until we realize the truth.

Oh no, oh no, oh God, where'd you go?
We are feeling lost and we want to know where you are.

And tell us how to feel inside
Instruct us on how we should feel emotionally.

No lies, no lies, no lies
We do not want to be deceived.

And let me look upon that sign
Allow me to see the message that you are conveying.

With eyes, with eyes, with eyes
With the ability to truly see and understand.

And tell me how you wear that crown
Explain to me how you came to be the ruler.

Of right, of right, of right
Of what is morally correct and just.

You lift us up then let us down
You offer us hope and then disappoint us.

We die, we die, we die
We feel like we are dying inside.

You answer to the wrong and wide
You listen to those who are misguided and uninformed.

I know, I know, the faith we feel
I understand that we have faith even though it may not be well-founded.

You give us strength and make us fight
You empower us and encourage us to struggle on.

I know, I know, we're supposed to kill
I understand that we are expected to be aggressive and violent.

You pit us up on different sides
You separate us and put us into opposing groups.

I know, I know, that's just your will
I understand that it is your desire to have us fight each other.

I wonder if you'll wait until
I am curious if you will delay intervening.

Oh no, oh no, this place will explode
Things will become violent and dangerous soon.

You live above this great big sky
You exist somewhere beyond our reach.

I hear it's nice, it's always spring
Rumors suggest that where you are, there is eternal beauty and life.

I've come to ask you for advice
I seek your guidance and expertise.

I know you're busy for a king
I understand that you have many responsibilities as a ruler.

You tell me once, I ask you twice
You offer me an answer, but I need clarification.

How long, how long, before they sing?
How much longer will it take for people to comprehend your message?

We did the things you said, alright
We followed your instructions and did what you asked.

Oh no, oh no, oh God, where'd you go?
We are feeling lost and we want to know where you are.

And tell us how to feel inside
Instruct us on how we should feel emotionally.

No lies, no lies, no lies
We do not want to be deceived.

And let us look upon that sign
Allow us to see the message that you are conveying.

With eyes, with eyes, with eyes
With the ability to truly see and understand.

And tell me how you wear that crown
Explain to me how you came to be the ruler.

Of right, of right, of right
Of what is morally correct and just.

You lift us up then let us down
You offer us hope and then disappoint us.

We die, we die, we die
We feel like we are dying inside.
