I tried to tell Him there's pain here And suffering too I tried to pray, but the angels said "We're too busy for you" I had a talk with my Mama about losing my beliefs 'Cause since she lost her Mama The Lord's been helping with her grief She said He might just be a big story But there's more to life than truth There's hope, my son in peoples faith Gives them strength to pull through But what if the world is a hopeless place? We're just scared to admit we're alone What if the world is a hopeless place? And we're on our own We're on our own There's beauty in nature And parables from kingdoms we knew I'm not expecting much after I'll make the most of my dues 'Cause I believe He's just story And I'm looking for the truth I have faith in my own journey With those I love to help me through 'Cause I know the world is a beautiful place Too full of love to be alone I know the world is a beautiful place But we're on our own We're on our own
