Smell the Color Songtext
von Chris Rice

I would take no for an answer
Just to know I heard You speak
And I′m wondering why I've never
Seen the signs they claim they see

Are they 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
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me
Any close 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 colour nine
Smell the colour nine


Now, I′ve never felt the presence
But I know You're always near
And I′ve never heard the calling
But somehow You've led me right here
So I′m not looking for burning bushes
Or some divine graffiti to appear
I'm just begging You for Your wisdom
And believe You′re putting some here

'Cause I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me
Any close 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 colour nine

I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren′t getting me
Any close 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


Well I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren′t getting me
Any close 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

Sometimes finding You
Is just like trying to
Sometimes finding You
Is just like trying to smell the colour nine
Smell the colour nine
Nine is not a colour
And even if it were, you can′t smell a colour, no
That's my point exactly
