about

Song written reflecting on my transition away from a belief in God.

lyrics

LIFE AFTER YOU

I was searching for the truth, I thought I knew it, I thought it was you
You were my best friend. I never thought it could come to an end.
O, O no, never end…

You were my source of strength, my solid rock, my hiding place
If everyone deserted me, you'd stand beside me, you'd never leave
O, O no, never leave…

But now I'm here all alone. So empty now that you're gone.

So I'm cryin' while I'm tryin’
to pick up the pieces that you left behind
Now I'm wondrin' and I'm waitin'
to see what comes of my new life. … life after you.

Looking back on all I went through, I know I thought too highly of you
Now I know you could never be, something you’re not,
and that has set me free. O, O set me free!

It’s okay that I’m here all alone.
Life has more meaning now that you’re gone!

Now I’m yearnin’ and I’m learnin’
to think for myself and live what I believe.
‘And I’m searchin’ and I’m findin’
that reason alone had the power set me free.
I said “reason alone had the power to set me free.”
O set me free, O, I am free…… I am free
