When I was questioned I shook my head and stared I was traveling alone And had nothing to declare He asked how I knew for sure And would I tell everyone I knew If it would hurt to know the truth I can be thankful to be alive But I despise this life In all my years, at best Have only learned just to survive But when I look around you I understand why you believe I see your evidence of God all around me You have so therefore you are But I have not You've seen the evidence of God But I have not and I have none (When he asked me) I shook my head and laughed I never had a taste for life And I felt there was no turning back Would I try to take away their hope? Replace it with reality Exchange their joy with my bleak view And leave them miserable like me? I have searched And I have tried To find a place where I can be I love my homeland dearly But never carved a place in society But when I look around you I understand why you believe I see your evidence of God all around me You have so therefore you are But I have not You are too rich for hate And I am too poor to love When I asked him He shook his head and stared I see no evidence of God In the men from the West
