I would take no for an answer
Just to know I heard you speak
And I'm wondering why I've never
Seen the signs they claim they see
A lotta special revelations
Meant for everybody but me
Maybe I don't truly know You
Or maybe I just simply believe...

Chorus: Cause I can sniff, I can see, and I can
Count up pretty high; but these faculties
Aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps poundin' so
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
You is just like tryin to smell the color nine
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 led me right here
So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes
Or some Divine graffiti to appear
I'm just beggin You for Your wisdom
And I believe You're puttin' some here...
Chorus

(ah's and do's)

Chorus (repeat)

Nine's not a color...
And if even if it was you can't smell a color,no
That's my point exactly

Do do do do do do do (repeat)
