Must have been mid-afternoon I could tell by how far the child's shadow is stretched out and He walks with a purpose In his sneakers Down the street he had Many questions like children often do He said Tell me all your thoughts on God And tell me am I very far Must have been late afternoon On our way the sun broke free of the clouds We count only blue cars Skip the cracks in the street And ask many questions like children often do We said Tell me all your thoughts on God Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me am I very far Am I very far now It's getting cold Picked up the pace How our shoes make hard noises in this place Our clothes are stained We pass many cross-eyed people And ask many questions like children often do Tell me all your thoughts on God Cause I'd really like to meet her And ask her why we're who we are Tell me all your thoughts on God Cause I'm on my way to see her So tell me am I very far Am I very far now am I very far now am I very far now Tell me all your thoughts of God Tell me all your thoughts of God
