How Do I Know That the World Is Not the Answer

Verse 1.
How do I know the sun is going to rise;
And how do  I know I can see through my eyes;

How do I know I got space;
When no one wants me to embrace;

CHOURS;
               And How do I know that the world is not thee answer;
               it's only plain to see, that you belong to me;
And How,
               How do I know that the world is not thee answer;
               It's only plain to see, seems like am forever free;
Verse 2.
How do I know someone cares;
And how do breathe in the air;

How do I know that I'll see that face;
Of the beautiful one whom shall one day be my mate;

CHOURS;
               And How do I know that the world is not thee answer;
               it's only plain to see, that you belong to me;
And How,
               How do I know that the world is not thee answer;
               It's only plain to see, seems like am forever free;

Reframe:
Life goes on forever and ever again;
But when you die, you have to fly;
Into the arms of the Father;
Into the skies, and you ask why;
 And How do I know that the world is not thee answer;
It's only plain to see, that you belong to me;
And in conclusion God is the reason;
This world isn't the answer at all;
For all the answers you need come from God;
That's why I now know that the world is not the answer;
it's now plain to see, Jesus and God belongs to me;
