Smell The Color 9
I would take "no" for an answer
Just to know I heard You speak
And I�m wonderin� why I�ve never
Seen the signs they claim they see
Are the special revelations
Meant for everybody but me?
Maybe I don�t truly know You
Or maybe I just simply believe
�Cause I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren�t getting me
Any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps poundin�
So I know I�m doin� fine
But sometimes finding You
Is just like trying to
Smell the color nine
Now I�ve never "felt the presence"
But I know You�re always near
And I�ve never "heard the calling"
But somehow You�ve led me right here
So I�m not looking for burning bushes
Or some divine graffiti to appear
I�m just beggin� You for some wisdom
And I believe You�re puttin� some here
�Cause I can sniff, I can see
I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren�t getting me
Any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps poundin�
So I know I�m doin� fine
But sometimes finding You
Is just like trying to
Smell the color nine
Smell the color nine?
But nine�s not a color.
And even if it were you can�t smell a color.
That�s my point exactly...
