"what are you doing kid , let go'
Man , i was just five i didn't know
That everything dies when it out-grows
Its number of years that life bestows
On them to breathe and live
Now that I'm older
i still haven't learned to forgive

"close your eyes and pray to god"
My strong momma always taught
But no matter how much we prayed
The hand of life reached us not

"he's just busy because so many pray"
I heard her whisper to me everyday
In her arms with a smile so pretty
But her pretty smile never did stay

"don't hate him , he'll be here "
I searched for him everywhere
And in time i started to realise
That this god never did care

"where are you going , leaving me"?
I never ever even turned back to see
'cause her eyes would have stopped me
But i was determined to find him for me

"what are you looking for, said the old man"
Sitting by the brook near an old stone
Something in his eyes told me he would understand
Whispered to me my every bone

I told him i was looking for god
He just stared at me like he heard nothing at all
I whispered again "im looking for god"
At the same time cold rain began to fall

He finally spoke"come , I'll show him to you"
And we started to walk to a wooden shack
The day got dark and it was a bleak view
Scared , I just wanted to turn back

He invited me in with a smile
The door opened with some noise
Something in his eyes told me to stay
Either way i really had no choice

Inside that shack there was nothing but dark
And he told me to look in the direction of his finger
"there , look there , closely and you will find him my dear"
I turned around and there was nothing but a mirror
