Counting Blue Cars

Must of been mid afternoon

As I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out

And he walked with a purpose in his sneakers, down the street

He had many questions like children often do

He said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God

And tell me am I very far?"

Must of been late afternoon

As 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, "Tell me all your thoughts on God

'Cause I would really like to meet her

And ask her why we're who we are.

Tell me all your thoughts on God

'Cause I am on my way to see her

So tell me am I very far, am I very 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

"Tell me all your thoughts on God.

'Cause I would really like to meet her

And ask her why we're who we are, tell

And tell me all your thoughts on God.

'Cause I am on my way to see her

So tell me am I very far

Am I very far now, am I very far now, am I very far now?

Tell me all your thoughts on God."
