What if God were one of us and what if he lost control of his creation? What if he never had omnipotence, but struggled alongside mankind to answer the big questions?

lyrics

All I wanted was green
And a perfect home.
Put some people there.
Leave them on their own to live
and love
to learn
and teach
to sing
and play
and to grow.

What I got in return
Is a soiled mess
Full of broken souls
Never moving past the fear
the greed
the hate
the need
this crazy Circus show.

You struggle in the darkness as you cry
I don't know how to make it better.
I'm feeling hopeless too
I guess I should expose the universal lie.

Are you talking to me?
Cause I have my doubts
That you understand
I only wanted you to feel
to fly
to dream
to try to solve the mysteries of life.

Don't you see who you are?
What you're moving toward?
Like a waterfall
Crashing on the rocks you run
you hide
you waste the magic moments of your life.

You question me to death.
I wonder why
You think that I have all the answers.
There's nothing I can do,
Except, of course, expose the universal lie.

You look to me and ask me to forgive you.
It'd break your heart to know I'm useless.
I need forgiveness too
For hiding far beneath this universal lie.
