What If God Was One of Us

Someday maybe we’ll understand
How the universe works and why
If there is a God how He works and if
He really loves us at all for all the pain
To be worth it

Someday maybe we’ll have a taste
Of what life should be like if
There are no tears on this world
And someday maybe we’ll just glance
Into what perfection could be like
True kindness, true love, true patience

Sometimes I miss the idea of what it could be
I know how it will always have been but what if

If we could do it all differently
Would we? Could we?

I miss the purity that I was taught
Exists in every person
I miss the idea that everyone is actually good
That everyone could be capable of love
I miss how it would have been
If everything we wanted to believe in if
It really existed

It’s all in my mind
They’re just pretty ideals
Fragile like porcelain
And it’s fast vanishing away
I’m afraid it’s slipping too fast

Your warmth hasn’t left my body
And it’s slipping too fast
And it’s plummeting to death

I miss the moment I thought that
You loved me too

But it just passed.
