Awesome

My god is greater than your god
yours wants us to comply
or else we die
mine just wants us to get by.

My god is greater than your god
yours wants blood
mine wants nothing for us
but good.

Your god is awesome
he made the trees, the stars, the sky
the earth and everything
that crawls upon it
but it crawls
bowed down by awe.

Your god is awesome
jealous and vengeful
demanding and cruel
compared with him
mine is so small.

My god is tiny
living inside me
a god of forgotten places
corners and traces.

My god is tiny
you cannot find him
aren't even searching
as though you are blinded

we all need reminding
there's awesome inside us
from time to time
we all need to find it.
