there's a deep cave
down at the bottom of the ocean
I can't help but wonder
I have this strange notion
that God dwells there
and God is pondering
how did this cave come about
God has questions about us wandering
perhaps we should stop and hold a rave
a complete nuisance of commotion
we could build a communion fire
but fire won't burn under the sea
what about all we have desired
does God understand desire in you and me
or can God only see light
what about the disappearing birds and bees
does God see wrong and right
if there were no light
would God exist at all
if God didn't catch our eye
if we didn't have this lifelong urge
could the world simply be a lie
would life just be a scourge
deep in that cave where God is
is it in the sea or outer space
I can't help but wonder if and why
how important is the human race
we aren't really necessary
but for some reason we still have a face
still we strive to be escalating and incendiary
no matter what or when or place
so at the bottom of the deep ocean
in God's mysterious hidden cave
I wonder if God is constantly mixing potions
spiritual prescriptions for each maid and every knave
what about credence and devotion
if we lose faith is there another way
can we ever find anything to do or say to atone
or is life nothing more than a three act play
but as God does there is seldom a big promotion
God just commits to that big bang cave in his deep ocean
waiting to see how we all react and eventually behave
