What if the stone was never rolled away?What if the dust remained inside the tomb?What if the words we gather here to prayAre whispers fading in an empty room?What if the parting sea was just a tide?What if the bread was normal bread they broke?What if the voice that claimed to be our guideWas just a lonely scholar when he spoke?But we built the steeples high to touch the skyAnd we sang the hymns to keep the fear at bayOh, what if the truth is not what we were told?What if the gold was never really gold?What if the pages got it wrong, and we are on our own?What if the apple wasn't about sin?What if the garden was a place to grow?What if the war we fight to enter inIs just a shadow play we made below?What if the flood was just a local rain?What if the ark was never built at all?What if the laws we carry to our painWere written by a king afraid to fall?But we built the steeples high to touch the skyAnd we sang the hymns to keep the fear at bayOh, what if the truth is not what we were told?What if the gold was never really gold?What if the pages got it wrong, and we are on our own?The ink can fade, the parchment starts to wearA thousand hands have changed a thousand linesWe look for holy answers in the airWhile missing all the human, earthly signsIf love is real without a judgment dayThen maybe we can learn to stand aloneWe don't need fear to wash the dirt awayWe don't need threats written in ancient stoneWhat if the fire below is just a myth?What if the clouds above are only rain?What if the grace we try to bargain withIs just the way we tolerate our pain?What if the end is not a sudden light?What if the world just keeps on spinning round?What if the dark is nothing but the night?What if the holy land is where we're found?But we built the steeples high to touch the skyAnd we sang the hymns to keep the fear at bayOh, what if the truth is not what we were told?What if the gold was never really gold?What if the pages got it wrong, and we are on our own?We are on our own.No ink, no stone.Just the love we choose to show.That’s all we really need to know.
