He who senses
everything
will plead and beg
of you to bring
your festered sores
your little ones
the wars you fight
the fear that runs
like thickened blood
gone brown with shame
beneath a crown
that bears his name
you wonder at the
gun he trains
at you and yours
at what remains
It's hard to tell
it's hard to tell
have you found God
or found at last your hell
Insensate now and
dumb with pain
you tear your heart
to feed his reign
you wonder at
his swollen lips
that guide the needle
as it rips
your beauty and your
breath away
you plead for reason
where you lay
you raise you fist
to curse the sky
to beat the ground
to ask him why
It's hard to tell
it's hard to tell
have you found God
or found at last your hell
Learning as I grow
to feel the hurt within
honestly
I need to see
I need to feel
I need to know
Have I met God
have I encountered hell
You dream and feel
you hide and heal
you cheat and lie
you try and try
you roam and seek
you think and speak
you sing and praise
you spawn and raise
you maim and slaughter
love and chase
you give no quarter
as you race
I'm hurt I'm humbled
on my knees
you smile and
raise your legal fees
It's hard to tell
it's hard to tell
have we found God
or found at last our hell
Learning as I grow
to feel the love within
honestly
I need to see
I need to feel
I need to know
Have I met God
have I encountered hell
It's hard to tell
it's very hard to tell
Have we seen God
have we at last found hell
It's hard to tell
it's very hard to tell
It's hard to tell
so very hard to tell
