must have been mid afternoon
i could tell by how far
the child's shadow stretched out
and he walked 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
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
its 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
