Only Heaven Knows

Is there a God A grand creator up above Some say the author of our story Benevolent, the one who radiates joy and pure love I think about this often Did this belief just miraculously appear? Is it Truth? Or a strategy - driven by our deepest darkest fears They say we’re created in his image They say he gave his only son The sacrificial lamb The chosen one This Holy story creates issues Neurotic feelings mixed with guilt and sweet revenge We’ve failed to live up to his story But in the end, they lose, we win They say God is all knowing They say he set our story in stone We will have trials and tribulations But we pray, as if he doesn't know Perhaps this is all just a test A devilish compromise Struggling to make it through Trying to find meaning in our life So if there is a God That exist from up above I think he's indifferent A man made father we want to love So in the end When the curtains start to close We ask, “is there a God?” I guess only Heaven knows
