Man Of God Lyrics - Good Riddance

can he make friends 

of the most bitter enemies 

i'll believe it when i see it's what i say 

can he assuage 

our moral discontentment 

i'll believe it on that unlikely day 

i believe that christian science may have something good to offer 

but i too believe it falls well short of a pipeline to god 

at our best we are creatures of volition 

but when we falter in adjunction we relinquish all control 

i met a man of god 

he tried his best to tell me 

my human fallabilities equate directly into sin 

his philosophy 

carried no weight with me 

his jaded mind won't let the truth find it's way in 

how does it feel? 

can he replace all those days in hiding 

is it real? 

how many nights have you slept with regret 

it's so sad 

when no one is waiting to meet you 

but the voices 

the voices of what might have been
