I wrote this song and the melody on a recent Sunday morning. I’m not a religious person, nor do I attend regular church. My sanctuary has been my outdoor space and nature. Some of my friends get concerned about my soul. I get it. I was once overly zealous about what I knew was the truth. Lately I’ve been asking some very existential questions especially since I have more years behind me than in front of me. Things I once held with certainty are now much less so. But…if there is a God who has loved me (and all mankind) for eternity, then one certainty I do have is that (He) will be okay with my existential mind.
This is another song featuring me (Wyatt) on lead vocals.
Been overloaded lately
by questions in my mind
The years of my tomorrows
less than the ones behind
Said goodbye to my mother,
her soul I cannot find
So I sit and stare
in my underwear
with an existential mind
I’ve had some brief encounters
with the supernatural side
Had a Ouija board once tell me
all the times that I had died
Got the Holy Ghost in college
and the devil they did bind
And they warned me well
that I’d go to hell
with an existential mind
Well I don’t know where I’m going
but I can’t say I feel lost
I’m just trying to make sense of life
and maybe I get tossed
So you don’t have to worry
that heaven I won’t find
God won’t care if I sit and stare
with an existential mind
Either I am going crazy or
the world has gone insane
Politics and computer clicks
are messing with my brain
I may not make you happy,
you might think that I am blind
But I’m happier
as though it were
with an existential mind
This life’s a funny journey,
there’s many rows to hoe
The older that I get it seems
the less I really know
So I’ll live my life in the maybe
and I’ll ask you to be kind
If I sit and stare
in my underwear
with an existential mind
Well I don’t know where I’m going
but I can’t see I feel lost
I’m just trying to make sense of life
and maybe I get tossed
So you don’t have to worry
that heaven I won’t find
God won’t care
if I sit and stare
with an existential mind
No I don’t know where I’m going
but I know that I’ll be fine
God don’t care if I sit and stare
with an existential mind
Yeah I’ll sit and stare
in my underwear
with an existential mind
