I Once Heard a Boy
I once heard a boy who said "god is asleep"
I ripped off my clothes and i started to weep
As i cried out and yelled and i stamped my feet
To wake him up
I once heard a girl who said that "god is dead"
My soul started shaking and so did my head
And i could not protest because i lost my voice
And my world started to rumble
I went to the doctor, i went to the shrink
They gave me some pills, and they told me to think
They suggested to me that i'd lay down and rest
It would pass in year maybe two
Well, i ran to the mountains, i climbed to the top
The wind started blowing and lifted me up
As i flew over the city i heard that my name
Was spoken tenderly
I went to the doctor, i went to the shrink
They gave me some pills, and they told me to think
They suggested to me that i'd lay down and rest
It would pass in year maybe two
I once heard a boy who said "god is asleep"
I ripped of my clothes and i started to weep
How to tell them about my believe
Una vez escuché a un chico
Una vez escuché a un chico que dijo 'Dios está dormido'
Me arranqué la ropa y empecé a llorar
Mientras gritaba y vociferaba y golpeaba mis pies
Para despertarlo
Una vez escuché a una chica que dijo que 'Dios está muerto'
Mi alma empezó a temblar y también mi cabeza
Y no pude protestar porque perdí mi voz
Y mi mundo empezó a temblar
Fui al médico, fui al psiquiatra
Me dieron algunas pastillas y me dijeron que pensara
Me sugirieron que me acostara y descansara
Podría pasar en un año, tal vez dos
Bueno, corrí a las montañas, subí a la cima
El viento empezó a soplar y me levantó
Mientras volaba sobre la ciudad escuché que mi nombre
Era pronunciado con ternura
Fui al médico, fui al psiquiatra
Me dieron algunas pastillas y me dijeron que pensara
Me sugirieron que me acostara y descansara
Podría pasar en un año, tal vez dos
Una vez escuché a un chico que dijo 'Dios está dormido'
Me arranqué la ropa y empecé a llorar
Cómo decirles acerca de mi creencia
