Only God Knows

ONLY GOD KNOWS  

© 2011 by David Llewellyn & Ida Kristin



I lie awake sometimes, late at night


Clear my head of all the hype


And like of friends these questions come on by


Are there Martians on the moon?


Why does ice cream melt so soon?


Is there a heaven? . . . Only God knows



Hands form a prayer, or a fist 


On our lips, a curse, a kiss


Why do we hurt the ones we love the most?


Is it possible to understand


Some kind of meaning, some cosmic plan?


Who’s got the answers? . . . Only God knows



Dalai Lama, Mahatma Ghandi


Jesus, Buddha, could you assist me?


I’d like to speak to someone here in charge



Why do sunsets paint our skies?


And what’s with rainbows, come on why?


Why so much beauty?  Why all this love?


And why’s this world in our safe keeping?


We rape and burn, leave it bleeding


Must be some mistake . . . Only God knows



Dalai Lama, Mahatma Ghandi


Jesus, Buddha, could you assist me?


I’d like to speak to someone here in charge





Life begins and ends in tears
And quite a struggle while we’re here
Then

why so precious? . . . Only God knows
