Simply Red

This is your God (repeat)

As we wander back into the universe
We render ourselves into a higher plane
Believing we will never wonder why again

He surely must be laughing Mr. Universe
Seeing us slowly head towards our goal
Only the joke is we don't know what it is at all

Yet our Gods teach us divinity

And we go on searching for you and me

As for the universe
This is your God

The order's truly random in the universe
And where will we be in a thousand years?
Soothingly searching to allay our fears

Well now we've wandered backwards to eternity
We're changing the concept of belief in time
Re-arranging the clock that dictates our minds

Yet our Gods teach us divinity
And we go on searching for you and me
As for the universe
This is your God
As for the universe
This is your God
This is your God

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
