Well, I've been up all night poring over scriptures
From a dozen traditions, trying to delve into
The wisdom of the prophets, 5000 years
But I can find nothing to assuage my fears
One by one, they're each cast aside
Every one disqualified
I search, but I can't find any comfort
I can't tell you that I never
Think of where I'll spend forever
But I can't comprehend salvation
It's the process of elimination
It'd be easy for me to dismiss it off-hand
Insist reality ends with what I understand
I can sense something at the edge of my perceptions
But all I'm offered are guesses and deceptions
One by one, they're each cast aside
Every one disqualified
I search, but I can't find any comfort
I can't tell you that I never
Think of where I'll spend forever
But I can't comprehend salvation
It's the process of elimination
Dear God: Hope you got the letter. I've been having a hard time trying to wade through all of the information your "people" have compiled on you. I'm (kinda) pretty sure that there's a bit of truth, somewhere, but it's surrounded by thousands of years of interpretations, insights...theology custom fit to support the interests of the status quo--I think something got lost. And I wish I had an answer, an epiphany, something to give me a clue to who I really am. But it's not there.
