Smell The Color 9 Lyrics

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
