When I look around you I understand why you believe
 I see your evidence of God, all around me

 You have so therefore you are, but I have not
 You've seen the evidence of God in your life, but I have none

 When I was questioned, I shook my head and stared
 I was traveling alone, and had nothing to declare

 He asked how I knew for sure
 And would I tell everyone I knew
 If it would hurt to know the [bad word] 
 I can be thankful to be alive but I despise this life
 In all my years, at best, I've only learned just to survive

 But when I look around you, I understand why you believe
 I see your evidence of God, all around me

 You have so therefore you are but I have not
 You've seen the evidence of God but I have not and I have none

 (When he asked me), I shook my head and laughed
 I never had a taste for life 
 And I felt there was no turning back

 Would I try to take away their hope?
 Replace it with reality
 Exchange their joy with my bleak view
 And leave them miserable like me?

 I have searched and I have tried to find a place where I can be
 I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society

 But when I look around you I understand why you believe
 I see your evidence of God, all around me

 You have so therefore you are, but I have not
 You are too rich for hate, and I am too poor to love

 When I asked him, he shook his head and stared
 "I see no evidence of God, in the men from the west"
