dead sea

i saw god on the mountain

in some burning bushes

i heard god in the desert

in a cave of whispers

moving over the water

gathering the fishes

watching sheep in the meadow

while the shepherds slumbered

i know that it really means nothing

i know that it never can happen

people reading the bible

like it's holy scripture

taking words out of context

now devoid of meaning

using heaven for hatred - almost universal

ignorance is the devil

knowledge was the first sin

i know that it really means nothing

i know that it never can happen

why won't anyone listen

when the prophet's talking?

no more miracle-makers

not since television

damned to live in the present

this eternal moment

blessed gift of existence

clinging to a mystery

i know that it really means nothing

i know that it never can happen

i know
