-4 -5 5* -5 -5 -4 -4
Must have been late-af-ter-noon
6 5* -55* 5* 5* 5*-4 -3
I could tell by how far the
-3 -4 -4 -5 -4 -4
child’s sha-dow stretched out and
-6*6 6 -6* 6 6 -5
He walked with a pur-pose
-3 -4 -5 -3-4
In his sneak-ers
-3 -4 -5 -3* -4
Down the street he had
-6*-5 6 5* -5 -6* 6 -5 -5 5* -4
Man-y ques-tions like chil-dren oft-en do…
-5 6
He said

-6* -7 -8 -6* 6 -5 -4
“Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-2* -6* -6* 6 -5 6 -5 -5
And tell me am I ver-y far?”

Must have been late afternoon
On our way the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks in the street
And ask many questions like children often do…
We said
-6* -7 -8 -6* 6 -5 -4
“Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-5 -5 -6* -6* -6* -6* 6 -5-4
Cause I’d real-ly like to meet her
-3 -6* -6* 6 -5 6 -5 -5-4
And ask her why we’re who we are?
-6* -7 -8 -6* 6 -5 -4
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-5 -5 -6* -6*-6* -6* 6 -5-4
Cause I’m on my way to see her
-3 -6* -6* 6 -5 6 -5 -6*…
So tell me am I ver-y far
-6*-6*-6*-6*6-5 -4
Am I ver-y far now?”

It’s getting cold
Picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises
in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many cross-eyed people
And ask many questions like children often do…

-6* -7 -8 -6* 6 -5 -4
“Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-5 -5 -6* -6* -6* -6* 6 -5-4
Cause I’d real-ly like to meet her
-3 -6* -6* 6 -5 6 -5 -5-4
And ask her why we’re who we are?
-6* -7 -8 -6* 6 -5 -4
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-5 -5 -6*-6* -6*-6* 6 -5-4
Cause I’m on my way to see her
-3 -6* -6* 6 -5 6 -5 -6*
So tell me am I ver-y far
-6*-6*-6*-6* 6 -5 -6*-6*-6*-6* 6 -5
Am I ver-y far now, am I very far now,
-6*-6*-6*-6* 6 -5
am I very far now?”
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
