Must have been late after noon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out
And he walked with a purpose in his sneakers down the street
He had many questions like children often do

He said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God
And tell me, am I very far?"

Must have been late after noon
On our way, the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars skip the cracks in the street
And ask many questions like children often do

We said, "Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I'd really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are."

Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I'm on my way to see her
So tell me, am I very far
Am I very far now

It's getting cold, picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained, we pass many cross eyed people
And ask many questions like children often do

We said, Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I'd really like to meet her
And ask her why we're who we are

Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I'm on my way to see her
So tell me am I very far
Am I very far now?

Tell me all your thoughts on God
Tell me all your thoughts on God

    OK to touch the religous thing...there is information showing that in the original Judaic beliefs, there might have been both a male god and a female counterpart. The name escapes me though. Point is, the bible(Christian, Judaic and Islamic) has always been changed by it's patriarical male sholars. Its very possible that that god is a female, or a set of male and female, or something undefinable. Im not any of these(dont believe in the patriarical, judeo-christian god), but i know what im talking about!

    DOGMA RULED...Alanis Morrisette (awsome singer, shes sooo great) was so funny as God....
