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"
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 and people's 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 a 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
