Ben Sollee - Panning for Gold lyrics

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"
