Proof

PROOF
words and music by
Blair Packham

Man’s a funny creature
He wants spiritual insurance
He turns to the preacher
For his immortal reassurance
He’ll proclaim undying faith
While filled with doubt and pain
When all the proof he’ll ever need is all around him

In the name of his God’s Heaven
He’ll destroy his earthly kingdom
The world that he was given
The gift that his God gave him
His self-righteous self-destruction
Born of doubt and cynicism
When all the proof he’ll ever need is all around him

BRIDGE
The light reflecting off a million motes of dust
The wonderous communion shared in music
The beauty of a clear blue sky
Makes me have to wonder why
The sacredness of our existence
Still needs proving

You want proof of God’s existence?
Adopt an orphan, have a baby
Fall in love without resistance
No conditions in your heart
When disaster strikes and mistakes are made
Watch strangers band together
All the proof you’ll ever need is all around you

BRIDGE
The light reflecting off a million motes of dust
The wonderous communion shared in music
The beauty of a clear blue sky
Makes me have to wonder why
The sacredness of our existence
Still needs proving

One love, one heart
Turns to another in the dark
In a second, in a moment
In a flash, in a spark
All the proof we’ll ever need is all around us
