What exactly would you say if your child looked up at you
And asked you about god and if he exists and if he's true?
And wondered what would happen when someone dies - is there a heaven?
And what about that man upon the cross - am i forgiven?
How exactly would you answer those hopeful little eyes
When you're college educated and convinced it's all a lie
Sure you went to sunday school when you were young but that was then
You're above those simple thoughts now the only god you know is man
Are you saddened and ashamed to tell this little soul
That you don't believe in anything and have no reason and no hope?
There's no heaven and no meaning there's no purpose to our lives
That you believe were just evolved random mutations come alive?
You're no better than an insect son and when you die that's it
I've learned through education good and bad just don't exist
It's all just evolution it's survival of the fittest
And we can get you a prescription when your life becomes depressed
Im sorry that i've crumbled all your hopes and all your dreams
But it's time you realize that you're life's not what it seems
Are you lost? are you alone? are you convinced that life does not make sense?
Have you forgotten that god even exists?
Have you replaced all that was real for a life of counterfeits?
And created your own truth a happy atheist
Are you lost? are you alone? are you convinced that life does not make sense?
Have you forgotten that god even exists?
Have you replaced all that was real for a life of counterfeits?
And created your own truth a happy atheist
Do you realize your answers could just shatter all these dreams in everything
That ever mattered to this precious little being who had belief a certain peace
And had received that inner voice inside his conscience and his conscious mind believed
And it sickens you to think cuz you've driven by your ego and your greed
And he sees it and you don't practice what you preach and you've lost your dignity
You've succeeded in destroying all belief and defeated all his real hopes and dreams
They might never be retrieved and the flame within his heart almost completely is extinguished
And the holes within his soul are filled with mimics
And the message of gods grace within his mind has been diminished
Because the answers that you gave him took a piece of existence
And the power of your words were unforeseen and in that
Very moment you destroyed the very purpose of his being
And now he's lost he's alone and convinced that life does not make sense
He has forgotten that god even exists
He's replaced all that was real for a life of counterfeits
And created his own truth as a happy atheist
Are you lost? are you alone? are you convinced that life does not make sense?
Have you forgotten that god even exists?
Have you replaced all that was real for a life of counterfeits?
And created your own truth a happy atheist
