God Said No

I met God
 On the edge of town
 Where the wind meets the stillness
 Where the darkness meets the light
 Where the ocean meets the sky
 Where the desert meets the rain
 Where the earth meets the heavens
 On the edge of town
 I met God
 I asked God
 Do one thing for me
 Send me back in time
 Send me to Seattle
 Let me go
 Find Kurt Cobain
 Take away his gun
 Take away his bullets
 Talk to him
 Make him want to live
 Tell him how we love him
 Help him see his glory
 God said no
 If I sent you back
 If you really found him
 You would only ask him
 If he could
 Help you get a deal
 If he knows a lawyer
 If he can help you
 God said no
 I asked God
 Do one thing for me
 Send me back in time
 Send me to Berlin
 Let me find
 The one they call Hitler
 I will stalk him
 I will bring him down
 I will bring along
 A powerful gun
 Loaded with bullets
 Obliterate his memory
 God said no
 If I sent you back
 You would get caught up
 In theory and discussion
 You would let your fears
 Delay and distract you
 You would make friends
 You would take a lover
 God said no
 I asked God
 Do one thing for me
 Send me back in time
 Send me to Jerusalem
 Let me go
 Let me go find Jesus
 Let me save His life
 As they try to kill Him
 Let me take Him down
 Down from the cross
 Take the iron from His body
 Try to heal His wounds
 God said no
 If I let you go
 If you really found Him
 Walking with the cross
 You would stare
 Your tongue no longer working
 Eyes no longer seeing
 Ears no longer hearing
 God said Dan
 Time belongs to me
 Time's my secret weapon
 A final advantage
 God turned away
 From the edge of town
 He knew, I was beaten
 And now was all I had
 God said no
