Cover Your Eyes

Against what you've learned
 You can trust what you read
 And believe every word
 From a language we no longer speak
 Life is a gift
 Your only concern: "is there life after this"
 Am I worthy of earning my wings
 Is there room on the list for someone who needs to see proof you exist
 It's just not that easy for me
 It's just not that easy
 Something's still missing
 You promised that it would materialize
 It's there if you listen
 I swear that I must not be hearing you right
 With God as my witness, I've made it my business to be on his side
 And somehow I'll never be sure
 But I'll keep asking why
 Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes
 Always on trial
 Hoping the verdict will make this worthwhile
 Can someone please tell me the score
 I'll be on the fence until you stand up and take credit for this
 The truth is, I'd rather not know
 I'll pray that the rest will make up for all of the days that I've missed
 It won't be so easy for me
 It's just not that easy
 Something's still missing
 You promised that it would materialize
 It's there if you listen
 I swear that I must not be hearing you right
 With God as my witness, like nobody's business, you know that I've tried
 And somehow I'll never be sure
 But I'll keep asking why
 Because you can't hide from the world by covering your eyes
