Would He Tell Us

Would he tell us how many people live a life before they die
Would he tell us how high the steeple must be built to brush the sky
Would he tell us which intersection we must reach before we turn
Would he tell us whose resurrection we should pray to reoccur

[chorus:]
Would he tell us a story
'Bout an innocent man
Bound for permanent glory
From a dangerous land

Would he tell us how much is wasted on disturbingly few of us
Would he tell us of open spaces big enough for all of us
Would he tell us of sons and daughters waiting for a certain sound
Would he tell us how deep the waters must be dredged before it's found

[chorus x 2]
