Analysis of I WONDER PT 2
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
I wonder...
...If we are all part of God
And God is a l so in the trees
With part of God decided
To let it rain today?
I mean the people
In town sure don't
Want a flooded street
Yet the trees sure need
A nice drink
I wonder...
...If we are all God
Why is there war?
Does God hate Himself?
Or maybe God is sick
Trying to cut out a cancer.
A house divided can not stand
I wonder...
...If we are all God
Why isn't Earth Paradise?
If we are God surely all needs
Can be met.
I wonder...
...if we are all God
Why can't we figure out
All the mysteries of this life?
Why is death still a path we must walk?
I wonder...
...if we are all God
Why was a child crying in a manger?
Why were 5,000fed by a sea?
Why did an innocent man
Offer His life on a Cross?
Why did He say He'd come again?
I wonder...
...if we are all God
Who'll clean up this mess?
AMEN
