I'm Peter van der HoldI'm 68 years oldI doubt some questions have increasedIn 42 years of being a priestI'm at the end of my lifeI'm not sure if I'm gonna surviveI often don't know what to sayWhen I talk to Him, when I prayIn reply I receiveOnly silence, no relieveI've waited in vain for a little adviceFrom that great voice in the therial skiesOnce I was revolutionaryA devoted mercenaryA gifted student in God's handsNow I'm old and sick of his demandsI tried to be honest and goodDid my job the best I couldBut I always stayed that average manRight in the spot where I'll be beganDuring the grieve with which I've dealtSpent three decades since I've feltThe certainty I so have adored 'bout the existence of the LordI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoI'll give him to my perishThings I don't have myself but cherishAnd namely love and charityMostly purpose that's what sets you freeSo I'm where the metaphoreI'm not comforting anymoreI think I'm almost done with my searchGot old so fast even in my churchBut feels as if I'm kept outSome sort of secret aboutThe meaning of life sometimesCan't fail to notice these are mediocre typesI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoAnd time has made me good at one thingAnd horrible at everything elseThe blessings of a world divineWere always elsewhere and never mineOh, I would like to hold someoneBriefly maybe have some funMy body's hardly designedSo I'm not really the hugging kindNot once has there beenSomeone with a softer skinWho reached out for me in the middle of the night'Cause my own lumpy mattress would've turn on the lightI think I've been miscastAnd the time of saints is passedMy faith is reclassed but not leastAfter 42 years of being a priestThe church is like a womanThing out of reach like a visionShe glimmers in the distance which I could never quite getNow I've left you with my regretI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoI've seen enough, that's why I knowGod left this place, long long time agoIt's my portion, it's my call...It's my portion, it's my call...
