Great Provider Lyrics

    Words by Steven Page & Ed Robertson
    Music by Jim Creeggan, Steven Page & Ed Robertson

    You and I have been through this before
    I owe you my whole life, nothing more
    I never said that I liked you the most
    You're my father, I'm your son, who's the Holy Ghost?
    Where does the time go when it's not around here?
    Here we stand at the edge of the drive
    I'm just waiting for my ride to arrive
    I wait to see if you've any last words
    We pulled away, I called your name, I don't think you heard

    Where does the time go when it's not around here?
    I don't know
    Where does the time go when it's not around here?

    You and I never shared all that much
    When I leave, I'll be all right, I'll keep in touch
    As your road narrows, so mine grows wider
    As I leave I turn and wave to the Great Provider

    Where does the time go when it's not around here?
    I don't know
    Where does the time go when it's not around here?
