Sometimes, such as on days like today I sit and I mourn for my long-forgotten faith I miss the certainty of a Most Divine Plan Those self-assured speeches of a holy man Assurances he speaks for the Ordained Track Promises of a Supreme Being who's got my back On these days when I wish, reminisce and long I can't help but wonder where it all went so wrong
It's not that I Believe that There Is No God Or even that I am unsure whether to believe or not I don't bother questioning if god is real For there is a bigger issue at play, I feel When I became faithless, it was just in HIS eyes "Faithless" I am not; there's just so much to surmise
I have Faith that the sun will warm each new day I have Faith that these heavy clouds will give rain I have Faith in the ground solid on which I stand I have faith; just not Faith in the Words of a Man
See, I have come to accept that I soon will die More surely, in fact, than the sun that may rise Any day that sun may not appear That day of darkness that we so fear I accept that any moment May advent my end I accept that there May be a sunrise just round the bend
With my flawed, weak powers of human perception Dependent as they are on my senses' inception I cannot Know a god, not many nor One Just as I cannot Know that tomorrow will come
Maybe it will, and maybe there is after all, But truly-- who among us can Know anything at all?
