The Astronaut

What if Jesus came back years ago
And this is hell and we don’t know
That’s where we’ve been?
Oh, and what if the dinosaurs
Really died of hate and holy wars
And we’re no better than them?
And what the hell is consciousness?
How did we end up like this?
Staring wide eyed at the endless sky?
All I know is
I will never know why
What would I do, who would I be
If I had more faith in me
And I got back all the time I wasted?
Oh, trying to be someone else
Every time I left my house
What if I’d never learned to fake it?
Do I serve a greater purpose?
Or am I just nervous?
I’m gonna disappear when I die
All I know is
I will never know why
Oh, where are you God?
Are you listening?
I still believe in you
Do you believe in me too?
Do you believe in me too?
I wish I was an astronaut
So I could just blast off into Heaven
And see behind the curtain
Oh, touch the hand that spins the stars
Find out where my wishes are
And ask if anybody every heard ‘em
Maybe I’m too small to understand
Just how small I really am
But I think there’s a reason we’re alive
All I know
Darling, all I know
All I know is
I will never know why
An astronaut is what I’d be
If I had more faith in me
And I got back all the time I wasted
