God Said No Lyrics

I met God
On the edge of town
Where the wind meets the stillness
Where the darkness meets the lightWhere the ocean meets the sky
Where the desert meets the rain
Where the earth meets the heavens
On the edge of town
I met GodI asked God
Do one thing for me
Send me back in time
Send me to SeattleLet me go
Find Kurt Cobain
Take away his gun
Take away his bulletsTalk to him
Make him want to live
Tell him how we love him
Help him see his gloryGod said no
If I sent you back

If you really found him
You would only ask himIf he could
Help you get a deal
If he knows a lawyer
If he can help you
God said noI asked God
Do one thing for me
Send me back in time
Send me to BerlinLet me find
The one they call Hitler
I will stalk him
I will bring him downI will bring along
A powerful gun
Loaded with bullets
Obliterate his memoryGod said no
If I sent you back
You would get caught up
In theory and discussionYou would let your fears
Delay and distract you
You would make friends
You would take a lover
God said noI asked God
Do one thing for me
Send me back in time
Send me to JerusalemLet me go
Let me go find Jesus
Let me save His life
As they try to kill HimLet me take Him down
Down from the cross
Take the iron from His body
Try to heal His woundsGod said no
If I let you go
If you really found Him
Walking with the crossYou would stare
Your tongue no longer working
Eyes no longer seeing
Ears no longer hearingGod said Dan
Time belongs to me
Time's my secret weapon
A final advantageGod turned away
From the edge of town
He knew, I was beaten
And now was all I hadGod said no
