Lyrics Panning for Gold - Ben Sollee

Panning for Gold

I saw God by the river
Panning for gold
I saw God by the river
Weary and old
He said,
«Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know»
I saw God in the forest
Teaching tai chi to the trees
In the wind
And bowing to the seas
He said
«Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know»
I saw God on the mountain
Tearing at the sky
I saw God on the mountain
With tears in his eyes
He said,
«Son, I used to know where I put things, I used to know
I could have shown you all the beauty in the world
But now I need you to show me
«Yes, show me»
