The Only Way (Hymn) Lyrics

People are stirred, moved by the word.
Kneel at the shrine, deceived by the wine.
How was the earth conceived? Infinite space.
Is there such a place? You must believe in the human race.

Can you believe, God makes you breathe.
Why did he lose six million Jews.

Touched by the wings, this angel brings
Sad winter storm, grey autumn dawn
Who looks on life itself, who lights your way?
Only you can say. How can you just obey?

Don't need the word, now that you've heard.
Don't be afraid: man is man made.
And when the hour comes, don't turn away.
Face the light of day. And do it your way.
It's the only way.

Atheism at its finest.

@Aniland This sounds like atheism is an ersatz religion. Perhaps it is (for many). I think the song is about authenticity and the avoidance of heteronomy.
