Smell The Color 9 Lyrics
Chris Rice
I would take "no" for an answer Just to know I heard You speak And I'm wonderin' why I've never Seen the signs they claim they see Are the special revelations Meant for everybody but me? Maybe I don't truly know You Or maybe I just simply believe
'Cause I can sniff, I can see And I can count up pretty high But these faculties aren't getting me Any closer to the sky But my heart of faith keeps poundin' So I know I'm doin' fine But sometimes finding You Is just like trying to Smell the color nine
Now I've never 'felt the presence' But I know You're always near And I've never 'heard the calling' But somehow You've led me right here So I'm not looking for burning bushes Or some divine graffiti to appear I'm just beggin' You for some wisdom And I believe You're puttin' some here
'Cause I can sniff, I can seek, I can count up pretty high But these faculties aren't getting me Any closer to the sky But my heart of faith keeps poundin' So I know I'm doin' fine But sometimes finding You Is just like trying to Smell the color nine
Smell the color nine? But nine's not a color And even if it were you can't smell a color That's my point exactly...
