Story Behind The Song
This song is inspired by the question of the existence of God. It began with an idea paraphrasing a Paul McCartney which is that God means good, and evil is the Devil. The ending of the song serves as a glorified "lord's prayer" asking in earnest for forgiveness and reprieve from life's pain.

Lyrics
God is just another word
Another word for good
Just take out one "O"
Evil is the devil's name
Hidden deep inside
If you drop the "D"
There's no one man on a cloud
In a big white chair
Perched up in the sky
Who sends winds to stir our world
Splashes rain from fingers
Just to make us cry
If there's a good and bad who decides
If there's a right or wrong
Is there a scorekeeper in the sky?
Some say science dictates life
Still answers are unknown
Made up as we go
But I say there's greater good
And spirits will survive
If we can believe
If there's a good and bad who decides
If there's a right or wrong
Is there a scorekeeper in the sky?
Please forgive my sins today 'cause I've been bad and I've done wrong
For all that's good and right and pure I beg and pray to the universe
With folded hands to deliver me through the portal of my brain
To the soul of life itself I seek to be possessed by euphoric good
Admit I'm wrong, I swear I'll change please just make the pain
Go away
Please just make it go away
Please just make it go away
Please just make it go away
