Lyrics
Dear God, I feel I must apologize
for my actions might be looked on as infractions
in your eyes
I put a woman on a pedestal so high
and now I can not reach her
unless you teach me to fly
I was a child once
in many ways I am again
it's not that I do not know how
it's just that I do not know when
I put a woman on a pedestal so high
and now I can not reach her
unless you teach me to fly
and all the angels are telling me to stop
because i'm blocking all the light
on the mountain top
Dear God
no disrespect intended here
it's simply that the instruction book you left me
wasn't clear
I put a woman on a pedestal so high and now I can not reach her unless you teach me to fly
and in the shade of a shadow I can see you grin
because you know damn well about the hole I'm in
Dear God
