"Live In The Question"

This song was inspired by a conversation I had with Pastor Craig Ferguson of the Johnston River of Life church. I have my quibbles with organized religion, and some of them are large quibbles, but I envy people with strong faith. They have a source of strength to help them with the questions.

Live In The Question

© 2014 Brian Hutzell

The stars don’t say a thing

I haven’t already heard

So I find it hard to listen

No matter how loud the words

Consequently there are many

Things I’ve never learned

I’d swallow my pride

But it might give me indigestion

I don’t have all the answers

So I must live in the question

I cannot disprove

The existence of God

But I still find the concept odd

The Great Awakening

Was nothing but a fraud

I’d swallow my pride

But it might give me indigestion

I don’t have all the answers

So I must live in the question

The American Enlightenment feels comfortable in my mind

I have great respect for keepers of the shrine

Every act of self-discovery

Is a sip of good strange wine

I’d swallow my pride

But it might give me indigestion

I don’t have all the answers

So I must live in the question
