Chris Rice Smell The Color Nine Lyrics

Smell The Color Nine Lyrics

I would take no for an answer,
Just to know I heard you speak,
And I'm
wondering why I've never,
Seen the signs they claim they see,
A lotta
special revelations,
Meant for everybody but me,
Maybe I don't truly know
You,
or maybe I just simply believe...

Chorus:  Cause I can sniff, I
can see, and I can
count up pretty high; but these faculties
aren't
getting me any closer to the sky,
but my heart of faith keeps poundin'
so
I know I'm doin' fine but sometimes findin
you is just like tryin to
smell the color nine.
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 led me right here,
So I'm not lookin' for
burnin' bushes,
Or some Divine graffiti to appear,
I'm just beggin You
for Your wisdom,
And I believe You're puttin' some
here...

Chorus

(ah's and do's)

Chorus
(repeat)

Nine's not a color...
and if even if it were you can't smell
a color,no
that's my point exactly.

do do do do do do do (repeat)
