God Is Gone Though Prayer Might Well Begin

I have studied and I’ve got my last degree My heart has learned its lessons one by one. I’m a graduate of the grief academy I didn’t know how painful it would be When a man you love is here and then is gone I’ve been studied and I got the third degree The tears I wept could wash out the Dead Sea Remove the salt and scour the shore till done I’m a graduate of the grief academy I know now I must die,we cannot flee We turn to dust and that is not much fun I have studied and I’ve got my last degree It’s no News, nothing for the BBC Unless you’re Stephen Hawkings, that great man We’re graduates of the grief academy We can’t control life with a self made plan God is gone though prayer might well begin I have suffered till I got a new degree I’m a graduate of the grief academy
