3 Minute Song

I tried to write a song, and keep it 3 minutes long

Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt

And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines

But I’m finding out that doesn’t really work

I   just     don    t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way

I must apologize, I have the hardest time

Finding something to define a God that I can’t define

And even if I could, it   would take way too long

If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song

I’ve got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more

I could never ever seem to sum this up

Besides, how can some melody communicate eternity?

It’s like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I just don’t have the words to say, cause words only get in my way

I must apologize, I have the hardest time

Finding something to define a God that I can’t define

And even if I could, it   would take way too long

If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song

I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords, or maybe 4

But I’ve tried and I can’t and I won’t cause there will always be more

So I apologize,

I can’t seem to get it right

I must apologize, I have the hardest time

Finding something to define a God that I can’t define

And even if I could, it   would take way too long

If all I’ve got’s a 3 minute song
