God Said No lyrics
DAN BERN - GOD SAID NO
I met God on the edge of town
Where the wind meets the stillness
Where the darkness meets the light
Where the ocean meets the sky
Where the desserts meets the rain
Where the earth meets the heaven
On the edge of town
I met God
I asked God
Do a thing for me,
me back in time
send me to Seattle
let me go find Curt Cobain
take away his gun,
take away his bullets
talk to him
make him wanna live
tell him I would love him
have him see his glory
God said No,
If I sent you back,
If you really found him,
You would only ask him
If he could help you get a deal
If he knows a lawyer
If he can help you
God said No.
I asked God,
Do a thing for me
Send to back in time
Send me to Berlin
Let me find
The worm that called Hitler
I will stock him
I will bring him down
I will bring …..
Powerful gun loaded with bullets
Blew away his mem ry
God said No
If I send you back,
You will get caught up
In theory and discussion
You would let your fears
Delay and distract you
You would make friends
You would take a lover
God said No
I asked God
Do a thing for me
Send me back in time
Send me to Jerusalem
Let me go, let me go find Jesus
Let me save his life
As they try to kill him
Let me take him down,
Down from the cross
Take the item from his body
Try to heal his wounds
God said No
If I let you go
If you really found him
Walking with the cross
You would steer
Your tongue no longer working
Eyes no longer seeing
Ears no longer hearing
God said: Time, time belongs to me
Time s my secret weapon
My final ……
God turned away
Off of the edge of town
And newly I was beaten
The now was all I had
God said No
