Lyrics
God and Darwin
I believe in God
But God believes in Darwin
Now what am I suppose to do?
Put pennies in a cup
Put pennies in a fountain
Another wish grows wings and flies
We hope somewhere out there it finds
A friendly place to make its home
I believe in Eden
But Eden made us beggars
Now how am I suppose to live?
Find clothes on the street
Find my peace on the sidewalk
Another wish blows out the flame
We hope someone class it by name
And it finds a place to call its own
(Chorus)
I believe I can do
I believe I can think
I can lead th horse to water
I can even make it drink
I believe I can be
I believe I can move
I can walk up to the devil
I can make him pay his dues
Don't ask me how I'll do it
I just can't say
But I'm gonna do it
I'm gonna do it anyway
If wishes were horses all beggars would ride
I not begging for mercy I'm asking for pride
Some wishes die early
Some go to their grave
But all of them seem so alive
The moment they're made
I believe in church
But church created martyrs
Now how am I suppose to die?
Put a lamb on the cross
Put a lamb on the alter
Another wish fills up the sky
We hope the smoke and ashes find
Someone who hears and answers prayer
(Chorus)
