lyrics

I don’t believe in God
But I remember when I did
I used to pray to him a lot
When I was just a kid
We were pretty much on speaking terms
So when I went to bed
I’d ask him to protect me
From the things I used to dread—
“Dear God, please God, protect my kin
“Wherever they may be
“Keep them safe from every harm
“Bless them – bless us – bless me.”

I know I’d say the same prayer now
If I could still believe
There was a god –
How comforting
How precious
How naïve
Who sees the little sparrow fall
And holds us in his hand
Salvation’s rock –
A pretty Disney castle
Made of sand.

I don’t believe in God
But when I see Evil vanquish Good –
Or my kid says, “Dad, can I take the car?”
God, I really wish I could.
