The Odyssey (If I Were God) Lyrics

Copyright © 2010 STYVYN All rights reserved

When I awoke I knew that I was not really god
I could still hear their screams and see their faces
Bodies washed upon the shore, helpless children killed by neverending war
And I couldn’t or wouldn’t do anything

If I were god
I’d be everywhere
There’d be no more need for prayer
I’d show the whole world I care
If I were god
I’d be a god everyone can share

If I were god
I wouldn’t behave in such mysterious ways

If I were god
I would listen when the whole world prays

If I were god
you’d know I’m here

If I were god
there’d be no more fear

If I were God

If I were God
You’d know I am here.

If I were God
There’d be no more fear.

I am haunted by my vision
Phantasmagoria of death and cruel destruction
Rivers of blood drowning hope, millions dying millions praying for my help
And I couldn’t or wouldn’t do anything

If I were god
I’d show my face
From the depths of outerspace
To the entire human race
If I were god
I’d change random mercy into grace

If I were god
I wouldn’t behave in such mysterious ways

If I were god
I would listen when the whole world prays

If I were god
you’d know I’m here

If I were god
there’d be no more fear

If I were God

If I were God
You’d know I am here.

If I were God
There’d be no more fear.

If your god is everywhere
If your god knows everything
If your god’s all powerful
If your god’s a loving god

If he wants to and he can’t
Then he’s not a powerful god

If he can but doesn’t want to
Then he’s not a loving god

If he can’t and doesn’t want to
then why should you ever call him God

If I were God
If I were God

If I were God
You’d know I am here.

If I were God
There’d be no more fear.
