I Say, "I Believe"

You tell us to believe in you
I say, "Why?"
You say, "Look up"
I say, "What else?"
You say, "Look down"
"But what else?"
You say, "Now look around"

"I see these things everyday"
"What else?"
You say, "Listen"
I say, "What else?"
You say, "Eat, drink, breath and sleep"

You've blessed us with eyes that see and move around
You've blessed us with ears to hear great things
You've blessed us with mouths, organs, and a way to rest.

I ask, "How can I believe in you?"
And you insist,
"Observe yourself and the world around you"
