Smell the Color 9

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

Are they special revelations

Meant for everybody but me?

Maybe I don't truly know You

Or maybe I just simply believe

'Cause I can sniff, I can see

And I can count up pretty high

But these faculties aren't getting me

Any close to the sky

But my heart of faith keeps pounding

So I know I'm doing fine

But sometimes finding You

Is just like trying to smell the colour nine

Smell the colour 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 looking for burning bushes

Or some divine graffiti to appear

I'm just begging You for Your wisdom

And believe You're putting some here

'Cause I can sniff, I can see

And I can count up pretty high

But these faculties aren't getting me

Any close to the sky

But my heart of faith keeps pounding

So I know I'm doing fine

But sometimes finding You

Is just like trying to smell the colour nine

I can sniff, I can see

And I can count up pretty high

But these faculties aren't getting me

Any close to the sky

But my heart of faith keeps pounding

So I know I'm doing fine

But sometimes finding You

Is just like trying to

Well I can sniff, I can see

And I can count up pretty high

But these faculties aren't getting me

Any close to the sky

But my heart of faith keeps pounding

So I know I'm doing fine

But sometimes finding You

Is just like trying to

Sometimes finding You

Is just like trying to

Sometimes finding You

Is just like trying to smell the colour nine

Smell the colour nine

Nine is not a colour

And even if it were, you can't smell a colour, no

That's my point exactly
