All Wrapped Up
03:51
|
|||
[Chorus]
Do you believe truth is owned - is all wrapped up?
No question ask, for answer known - is carved in stone?
Can you conceive there maybe more, I wonder?
[Verse 1]
I wonder how so sure
Mind free from doubt conviction
Is it by hand divine
Some see God implausible?
[Verse 2]
I wonder how so sure
Mind free from doubt perception
Is it by hand divine
Some see God impersonal?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I wonder how so sure
Mind free from doubt believing
Is it by hand divine
Some see God reality?
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental + spoken word]
It's almost as if a wand is waved to create a magical spell by which the object finds their reality entirely believable ... regardless of how fetched it might seem to others :)
[Verse 4]
I wonder how so sure
Mind free from doubt confidence
Is it by hand divine
Some see one and difference?
[Chorus to Fade]
