God Said No Lyrics - Dan Bern

I met God 

On the edge of town 

Where the wind meets the stillness 

Where the darkness meets the light 

Where the ocean meets the sky 

Where the desert meets the rain 

Where the earth meets the heavens 

On the edge of town 

I met God 

I asked God 

Do one thing for me 

Send me back in time 

Send me to Seattle

Let me go 

Find Kurt Cobain 

Take away his gun 

Take away his bullets 

Talk to him 

Make him want to live 

Tell him how we love him 

Help him see his glory 

God said no 

If I sent you back 

If you really found him 

You would only ask him 

If he could 

Help you get a deal 

If he knows a lawyer 

If he can help you 

God said no

I asked God 

Do one thing for me 

Send me back in time 

Send me to Berlin 

Let me find 

The one they call Hitler 

I will stalk him 

I will bring him down 

I will bring along 

A powerful gun 

Loaded with bullets 

Obliterate his memory 

God said no 

If I sent you back 

You would get caught up 

In theory and discussion 

You would let your fears 

Delay and distract you 

You would make friends 

You would take a lover 

God said no 

I asked God 

Do one thing for me 

Send me back in time 

Send me to Jerusalem 

Let me go 

Let me go find Jesus 

Let me save His life 

As they try to kill Him 

Let me take Him down 

Down from the cross 

Take the iron from His body 

Try to heal His wounds 

God said no 

If I let you go 

If you really found Him 

Walking with the cross 

You would stare 

Your tongue no longer working 

Eyes no longer seeing 

Ears no longer hearing 

God said Dan 

Time belongs to me 

Time's my secret weapon 

A final advantage 

God turned away 

From the edge of town 

He knew, I was beaten 

And now was all I had 

God said no
