Lyrics:
I saw God by the river
Panning for gold
I saw God by the river
Weary and old

He said; "Son,
I used to know where I put things,
I used to know."

I saw God in the forest
Teaching Tai Chi to the trees
In the wind
And bowing to the seas

He said; "Son,
I used to know where I put things,
I used to know."

I saw God on the mountain
Tearing at the sky
I saw God on the mountain
With tears in his eyes

He said; "Son,
I used to know where I put things,
I used to know
I could have shown you all the beauty in the world
but now I need you to show me
Yes, show me."
