What if you are version of God?
What if God's in everybody?

The where I come from, when life started
Idea of other / who's my brother?

Pull out rug from fact foundation

What if animals are souls too?
Just they wear different dress?
What if meat is really murder?
Am I prepared to risk maybe true?

What if I am never victim?
What if no such thing as sin?
What if soul is never fallen?
What if life is divine role-play?

The where I come from, when life started
I better make sure not mistaken
[Repeat Chorus to FADE]
