I would take no for an answer
+
Just to know I heard You speak
+
And I'm wonderin' why I've never
+
Seen the signs they claim to see
+
Are the special revelations
+
Meant for everbody but me?
+
Maybe I don't truly know You
+
Or maybe I just simply believe
+
'Cause I can sniff, I can see
+
I can count up pretty high
+
But these faculties aren't getting me
+
any close to the sky
+
But my heart of faith keeps poundin'
+
So I know I'm doin' fine
+
But sometimes finding You
+
Is just like trying to
+
Smell the color nine
+
Now I've never 'felt the presence'
+
But I know You're always near
+
And I've never 'heard the calling'
+
But somehow You've lead me right here
+
So I'm not looking for burning bushes
+
Or some divine graffiti to appear
+
I'm just begging You for some wisdom
+
And believing You're putting some here
+
repeat chorus
+
Smell the color nine?
+
But nine's not a color
+
And even if it were you can't smell a color
+
That's my point exactly
+
