lyrics

Such a young man for a place like this
Well, come on in boy, see what it is
you think you missed
This place is older than your life will be long
And everybody here knows what it is
to not belong
This is where I've always been
Everything comes back again
So tell us what has brought you here

Could it be that higher than the Sun
That is where the God you made will come from
And only if you do the things we say
will you ever buy your way to heaven

It was more than one thing
when it came to this
You think it was your choice
but it's not a choice if you can't resist
And now you've got your rules
for the bad from good
Here you help someone, because it's in your heart and you know you should

This is where I've always been
Everything comes back again
So tell us what has brought you here

Could it be that higher than the Sun
That is where the God you made will come from
And only if you do the things we say
will you ever buy your way to heaven

Now that you're here don't be afraid
You can think of all the people
that have probably felt this way
Within your conscience stands a fool
If there is a God why should it help you
