| Seventeen I�m so happy; I have everything to live for. I�m so tired; I have everything to work for. And I�m so lonely, But I�ve got everything to dream for. Have I been happy These seventeen years since I�ve seen God? I�m so grateful, Life could be so much worse. I�ll be careful Not to wish my days away, And I�ll be weary Of those who have it worse than I. Yet I�ve been unhappy These seventeen years since I�ve seen God. I suppose that Early years were fun enough, But all those years Are long since passed and gone away, And my memory Can not recall such happy events. Tell me what has changed These seventeen years since I�ve seen God? All this thinking, It is making me depressed, But I guess I have always been this way. What can I say? I think I�ll find a haze, Cause I�ve got plans today. I think I�m gonna go see God. I�m in a haze And for a while I think I�m happy. Yeah I�m happy Cause the haze is in my head. In my head, Yeah I can see inside my head. I search all day But in this haze I can�t see God. Take my haze To the top of this building, And look out Over all that makes me ill. What makes me well Is an end to this growing. I�ve realized It�s been seventeen years since I�ve seen God. Now I�m flying On a pilgrimage to God, And I�m falling Ever closer to the ground. I remember Things I learned in Sunday school, And I wonder: When I land will I see God? |
