I would take no for an answer



Just to know I heard You speak



And I'm wonderin' why I've never



Seen the signs they claim to see



Are the special revelations



Meant for everbody but me?



Maybe I don't truly know You



Or maybe I just simply believe







'Cause I can sniff, I can see



I can count up pretty high



But these faculties aren't getting me



any close to the sky



But my heart of faith keeps poundin'



So I know I'm doin' fine



But sometimes finding You



Is just like trying to



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 lead me right here



So I'm not looking for burning bushes



Or some divine graffiti to appear



I'm just begging You for some wisdom



And believing You're putting some here







repeat chorus







Smell the color nine?



But nine's not a color



And even if it were you can't smell a color



That's my point exactly
