Could It Be Lyrics - Michael Card

In the ebb and flow of living 

As we wander through the years 

We're told to listen to a voice 

We can't here with our ears 

They say to live by something 

That you can't see with your eyes 

Is there really any purpose 

To this foolish exercise? 

Chorus 

Could it be You make Your presence known 

So often by Your absence? 

Could it be that questions tell us more 

Than answers ever do? 

Could it be that You would really rather die 

Than live without us? 

Could it be the only answer that means anything 

Is You? 

In our words and in our silence 

In our pride and in our shame 

To the genius and the scholar 

To the foolish and insane 

To the ones who care to seek You 

To the ones who never will 

You are the only answer even still 

Chorus 

It's a question you can't answer 

An answer you cannot express 

That the gentle Man of Sorrow 

Is the source of happiness 

You'll never solve the mystery 

Of this magnetic man 

For you must believe to understand 

Chorus 

Could it be the only answer that means anything 

Is You?
