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?
