  When I was questioned,      I shook my head and stared

Bb5                     C5  C#5
  I was traveling alone,      and had nothing to declare

Bb5                           C5  C#5
  He asked how I knew for sure      and would I tell everyone I knew

Bb5                     C5     C#5
  If it would hurt to know the truth





Bb5                    Ab5      C#5                    C5
  I can be thankful to be alive but I despise this life.

  in all my years, at best, have only learned just to survive.

Bb5                          C#5              F5       Ab5
  But When I look around you I understand why you believe

Bb5                          Ab5
  I see your evidence of God, all around me

Bb5                             C#5           F5  Ab5
  You have so therefore you are  But I have not.

Bb5                               Ab5
  You've seen the evidence of God but I have not and I have none






Bb5               C5  C#5
  (When he asked me,)   I shook my head and laughed

Bb5                            C5  C#5
  I never had a taste for life       and I felt there was no turning back

Bb5                                    C5  C#5
  Would I try to take away their hope?       Replace it with reality?

Bb5                                  C5                 C#5
  Exchange their joy with my bleak view  And leave them miserable like me?





Bb5                              Ab5  C#5                           C5
  I have searched and I have tried to find a place where   I can be

F5                    Eb5    Ab5                      G5    Ab5
  I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society





Bb5                         C#5                F5      Ab5
  But When I look around you  I understand why you believe

Bb5                          Ab5
  I see your evidence of God, all around me

Bb5                             C#5          F5           Ab5
  You have so therefore you are, but I have not

Bb5                         Ab5                            Bb5
  You are too rich for hate, and I am too poor        to love.

  When I asked him , he shook his head and stared

F5                        Bb5       G5  Ab5
  I see no evidence of God, in the men from the west
