My God (chapt. 37)

from Kiwi's Songs by Lawrence Collins

/

about

My God, from the album Mandala Sessions (2000), talks about how everyone has a different- and sometime twisted- vision of who their God is... In each man lies the answer... and the freedom to choose.

My God parle du fait que chacun a sa propre conception (plus ou moins tordu) de qui Dieux est... A chacun son droit de choisir.

lyrics

who's your God?
lyrics
My God is a dog
who barks in the dark,
she hunts in the shadows
and tears me apart…

My God is a rock,
pure crystal white,
I’m gonna drop to my knees
and get baptized tonight…

In each man lies the answer…
In each man lies the answer to…
In each man lies the answer…
In each man lies the answer to the question…

My God is a screen
that tells me what to think,
he shows me how to dream
and takes me to the brink…
In the hours when I feel
the routine dragging in,
his illusions heal
and dull my daily pain…

In each man lies the answer…
(I don’t know where I’m going)
In each man lies the answer to…
(I’m not sure where I’ve been)
In each man lies the answer…
(I don’t know where I’m going)
In each man lies the answer to the question…
(I don’t know who I should believe in anymore.)
I don’t know know what to believe in anymor…
Could you tell me, tell me, who’s my God?

My God is a dog
who barks in the dark,
she hunts in the shadows
and tears me apart;
with words so sharp,
her teeth find my pain
and gnaw at the secrets
that I’m afraid to name…

In each man lies the answer…
(I don’t know where I’m going)
In each man lies the answer to…
(I’m not sure where I’ve been)
In each man lies the answer…
(I don’t know where I’m going)
In each man lies the answer to the question…
(I don’t know what to believe in)
I don’t know where I’m going, I’m not sure where I’ve been
but I find myself in the smoke’s holy mane…
I don’t know where I’m going, I’m not sure where I’ve been
but I find myself in the beast’s cruel game…
I don’t know where I’m going, I’m not sure where I’ve been
but I find myself in the screen’s easy fame.
