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 wanna 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 Time Time belongs to me Time's my secret weapon My final advantage God turned away From the edge of town I knew I was beaten And that now was all I had God Said No
