lyrics

If you’re waiting for a miracle or something good to happen
You might be waiting for your whole entire life
For there is no promised land and if you see two footprints in the sand
It’s quite possible one’s from your other personality
And I once believed in God but now I find it so odd
That people who have nothing cling to it in another form
But if that works well for them, then I really don’t have a problem
As long as they politely distance their judgments from me

And you don’t have to be a scientist to explain away the world
But if you don’t understand something, it doesn’t mean it’s magical
And if you don’t believe me, then why do you choose to believe
In an invisible man controlling your destiny?

Now I once was lost but now I am found
By reason and logical thinking
For I talked to the sky, but I’m still awaiting a reply
And I probably will be for the rest of my life
And while your kind thoughts are nice, wishful thinking does not change lives
It just shows your unwillingness to actually do anything
So you can cast your hopes out to the wind, but when it changes direction
Will you or your god be responsible for your fate?

And you don’t have to be a scientist to explain away the world
But if you don’t understand something, it doesn’t mean it’s magical
And if you don’t believe me, then why do you choose to believe
In an invisible man controlling your destiny?

and I’ll hope you are well when I see you at the gates of hell
and we realize we were both wrong and laugh about it
but we only have these lives to lead
and there is no eternity
there’s just these forms we see

at least that’s what I believe
at least that’s what I believe
at least that’s what I believe
at least that’s what I believe
at least that’s what I believe

And you don’t have to be a scientist to explain away the world
But if you don’t understand something, it doesn’t mean it’s magical
And if you don’t believe me, then why do you choose to believe
In an invisible man controlling your destiny?
