Smell The Color Nine

I would take no for an answer just to know I heard you speak.
And I'm wonderin' why I've never seen the signs they claim they see.
Are there special revelations Meant for everybody but me?
Maybe I don't truly know you or maybe I just simply believe.

'Cause I can sniff, I can see, I can count up pretty high,
but these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky.
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine,
but sometimes finding you is just like trying to
Smell the color nine.

Now I've never felt the presence but I know You're always near.
And I've never heard the calling but somehow I know You've led me right here.
So I'm not looking for burning bushes or some divine graffiti to appear.
I'm just beggin' You for Your wisdom and I believe You're putting some here.

'Cause I can sniff, I can see, I can count up pretty high,
but these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky.
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine,
but sometimes finding you is just like trying to
Smell the color nine.

Smell the Color Nine?
But nine's not a color
And even if it were you can't smell a color
That's my point exactly...
