I saw God in the desert In some burning bushes I heard God on the mountain In a cave of whispers Moving over the water Gathering the fishes Watching sheep in the meadow While the shepherds slumbered I know that it really means nothing I know that it never can happen People reading the Bible Like it's holy scripture Taking words out of context Now devoid of meaning Using heaven for hatred - almost universal Ignorance is the Devil Knowledge was the first sin I know that it really means nothing I know that it never can happen Why won't anyone listen When the Prophet's talking? No more miracle-makers Not since television Damned to live in the present This eternal moment Blessed gift of existence Clinging to a mystery I know that it really means nothing I know that it never can happen I know
