What exactly would you say if your child looked up at you
And asked you about God and if He exists and if He's true?
And wondered what would happen when someone dies—Is there a heaven?
And what about that man upon the cross—Am I forgiven?

How exactly would you answer those hopeful little eyes
When you're college educated and convinced it's all a lie?
Sure you went to Sunday school when you were young, but that was then.
You're above those simple thoughts now, the only god you know is man.

Are you saddened and ashamed to tell this little soul
That you don't believe in anything and have no reason and no hope?
There's no heaven and no meaning, there's no purpose to our lives.
That you believe were just evolved random mutations come alive?

You're no better than an insect, son, and when you die, that's it.
I've learned through education good and bad just don't exist.
It's all just evolution, it's survival of the fittest,
And we can get you a prescription when your life becomes depressed.

Im sorry that I've crumbled all your hopes and all your dreams,
But it's time you realize that you're life's not what it seems.

​

Are you lost? Are you alone? Are you convinced that life does not make sense?
Have you forgotten that God even exists?
Have you replaced all that was real for a life of counterfeits?
And created your own truth, a happy atheist?

​

Do you realize your answers could just shatter all these dreams
In everything that ever mattered to this precious little being
Who had belief, a certain peace,
And had received that inner voice inside his conscience, and his conscious mind believed?

And it sickens you to think, cuz you've driven by your ego and your greed,
And he sees it, and you don't practice what you preach, and you've lost your dignity.
You've succeeded in destroying all belief
And defeated all his real hopes and dreams.

They might never be retrieved, and the flame within his heart
Almost completely is extinguished.
And the holes within his soul are filled with mimics,
And the message of Gods grace within his mind has been diminished.

Because the answers that you gave him took a piece of existence,
And the power of your words were unforeseen, and in that
Very moment you destroyed the very purpose of his being.

And now he's lost, he's alone, and convinced that life does not make sense.
He has forgotten that God even exists.
He's replaced all that was real for a life of counterfeits,
And created his own truth as a happy atheist.

Are you lost? Are you alone? Are you convinced that life does not make sense?
