Lyrics

1.
To think that the world in it's beauty.

Just appeared accidentally;

And that it all,
happened without a Grand Design

The thought of it boggles my mind.

2.
The thought that the world was created.

By one God seems to 've faded.

And that we all wanted to worship mankind first;

The center of our universe.

Chorus:
So we should just take a step back, and take some time.

'Cause to see the truth we might have to climb

To the highest heights just to see it all;

But don't be afraid it's no shame to fall on your face

If you take a leap of faith

3.
Then I see the world and God's creatures;

Small details, and fine features,

And hear the tales, how they all sprang from cells and pods

Without an assistance from God. (Now, isn't that odd?)

4.
In this world man has contended:

The bible's wrong - that time has ended,

That God is dead, and we must forge ahead alone;

Forgetting what we've always known.

Chorus:
So we should just take a step back, and take some time.

'Cause to see the truth you might have to climb

To the highest heights just to see it all;

But don't be afraid your guided by unending grace

When you take a leap of faith.
