Traveling Alone Lyrics - Woods Of Ypres

When I look around you I understand why you believe 

I see your evidence of God, all around me 

You have so therefore you are, but I have not 

You've seen the evidence of God in your life, but I have none 

When I was questioned, I shook my head and stared 

I was traveling alone, and had nothing to declare 

He asked how I knew for sure 

And would I tell everyone I knew 

If it would hurt to know the truth 

I can be thankful to be alive but I despise this life 

In all my years, at best, I've only learned just to survive 

But when I look around you, I understand why you believe 

I see your evidence of God, all around me 

You have so therefore you are but I have not 

You've seen the evidence of God but I have not and I have none 

(When he asked me), I shook my head and laughed 

I never had a taste for life 

And I felt there was no turning back 

Would I try to take away their hope? 

Replace it with reality 

Exchange their joy with my bleak view 

And leave them miserable like me? 

I have searched and I have tried to find a place where I can be 

I love my homeland dearly but never carved a place in society 

But when I look around you I understand why you believe 

I see your evidence of God, all around me 

You have so therefore you are, but I have not 

You are too rich for hate, and I am too poor to love 

When I asked him, he shook his head and stared 

"I see no evidence of God, in the men from the west"
