Traveling Alone — Woods Of Ypres

When I look around you I understand why you believe I see your evidence of God, all around me

You have so therefore you are, but I have not You've seen the evidence of God in your life, but I have none

When I was questioned, I shook my head and stared I was traveling alone, and had nothing to declare

He asked how I knew for sure And would I tell everyone I knew If it would hurt to know the truth

I can be thankful to be alive but I despise this life In all my years, at best, I've only learned just to survive

But when I look around you, I understand why you believe I see your evidence of God, all around me

You have so therefore you are but I have not You've seen the evidence of God but I have not and I have none

(When he asked me), I shook my head and laughed I never had a taste for life And I felt there was no turning back

Would I try to take away their hope? Replace it with reality Exchange their joy with my bleak view And leave them miserable like me?

I have searched and I have tried to find a place where I can be I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society

But when I look around you I understand why you believe I see your evidence of God, all around me

You have so therefore you are, but I have not You are too rich for hate, and I am too poor to love

When I asked him, he shook his head and stared "I see no evidence of God, in the men from the west"
