Dave Kerschbaum - God's Honest Truth

I don't understand
How you're everywhere I am
And yet nowhere to be found at all
A trick of physics, disorienting
The pull and spin, unrelenting
Can you even hear this song at all?
Your voice still strong in my head
My memory weak, what was it you said
When I asked you where you find joy these days?
Now the connection is lost, the line went dead
No dial tone, just silence instead
I'm sending out these desperate transmissions anyway
And you're the one I want to help me through this
Now it's all on me and I don't think I can do this
To tell God's honest truth, I don't even want to
To tell the God awful truth, I really don't want to
I keep trying to look through your eyes
To see what you'd see if you were still alive
An educated guess is the best that I can get
It's been five years now since you've been gone
We bought a house with a view of the woods from the lawn
And I think of you when I'm watching fireflies from my deck
And nobody ever wants to be the one to do this
Now I'm wondering who's gonna be the one to help my kids through it
To tell God's honest truth, I don't even know how to
To tell the God awful truth, I really don't want to
Your voice is still strong in my head
Now I think I might know what you might've said
If I could ask you where to find joy these days
You'd say all we have is gift
And all we have to do is live
And lean as hard as we can into it where we find grace
And I'm the one who has to do this
But I know that you're there helping me through this
To tell God's honest truth, I'm still not sure how to
To tell God's honest truth, I still don't want to
