Q & A

Q & A

 

 

Can you tell me please, how am I meant to live?

Can you answer me?  Do I need your forgiveness?

Can you tell me please, what am I meant to be?

Can you show me something in me, I have never seen?

 

 

All those nights I’ve worried about my health;

All those mis-spent moments, I could have been somewhere else.

In another world, or another reality.

If things were different, would I really be myself?

 

 

Won’t you answer me!?  God someone tell me!

Won’t you answer me!?  God can you tell me!?

Won’t you answer me?  God why can’t I be,

Something different to what I was meant to be?

 

 

And if our fate is already written, then what does that mean?

Are we living our lives on the edge of our seats?

Or are we even living at all?

Or are we just moving through our time like fools,

Who cannot see the bigger picture in which we live?

If we’re falling apart, is that our destiny?

And who has all the answers to all of the questions?

And would you like to live if all your questions were answered?

 

 

Won’t you answer me!?  God someone tell me!

Won’t you answer me!?  God can you tell me!?

Won’t you answer me?  God why can’t I be,

Something different to what I was meant to be?

 

 

All my life I’ve wondered, is this really it?

Is this all I’m ever going to turn out to be?

And I’ve always thought, I’d be much more than this;

But I guess this is just the way things have to be.

 

 

But there’s just one question I’d like to ask;

Before death comes to take me, can I have one last chance?

And please allow me to ask you this question, before it’s too late.

If I’d have changed my world would I really have been myself?

 

 

Won’t you answer me!?  God someone tell me!

Won’t you answer me!?  God can you tell me!?

Won’t you answer me?  God why can’t I be,

Something different to what I was meant to be?

 

 

Are we just changing our future dreams?

And moving them into something we can reach?

And if all that we want is always out of reach,

Is that really just the way life is?

 

 

And if all that we have is all that we need,

Would it mean that we couldn’t continue to live,

Without having it all just taken away?

Could we not be content until our dying days?

 

 

Won’t you answer me!?  God someone tell me!

Won’t you answer me!?  God can you tell me!?

Won’t you answer me?  God why can’t I be;

Something different to what I was meant to be?

    This is a real thought jerker. Until somebody put the idea of there being this 'god' figure into your head you had absolutely no need of any god. Until you were led to believe that there was something you were meant to be you could be anything you wanted to be within the limits of your own ambition and capabilities.

    Religion and 'conditioning' have so much to answer for in the manner that they both restrict human freedom.
