I was thinking ‘bout Noah’s ark
I was wondering how he could have seen in the dark
If he lit a candle light
Wouldn’t all the methane gas inside ignite?
What if Mary told a lie
And her baby wasn’t born up on Heaven high?
What if Christ was a bastard child
And Joseph was fooled all the while?
(chorus)
I just want to be certain
There isn’t just a man behind the curtain.
But if I ruin the tapestry
While I’m pulling on a broken string,
Well I hope you know that all I ever wanted
Was to see what’s behind everything.
Someone told me they talked to God
I was wondering how to make sure they were not a fraud.
So I read the holy word
But its authors were men who claimed to talk to the Lord.
I don’t want to be mislead
By elders who advocate the voices in their head.
If God is real, then here I am
Let Him come and strike me where I stand.
