Left Alone

If I disappeared tomorrow
Would the weather change at all?
If I flew to oblivion,
Would the wind blow the other way?

If I stay one more day,
Will the sun come up still?
If I stay any longer,
Will I watch the red sea part?

If we all left now,
Would the moon disappear?
If we forgot ourselves,
Would belief ever forgive?

One gone, two gone,
We’ve all left now.
The wind stops blowing,
Then the sun stops setting,
Belief is suspended.
Who do they perform for now?
