Sort of a post-modern gritty acoustic gospel song.

Rob plays things with strings and makes sounds with his voice. Eshinee plays things she can hit with her hands and sings. They both write songs, inspired by eve

Story behind the song
Something I wrote in a philosophy class when I should have been taking notes... there's a lot more verses, but we made a short version for the album.
Lyrics
I have seen the sunset flash green through sunset sea; I have seen the spinning atom and the galaxy, I’ve walked barefoot through the Amazon, touched a rainbow centipede, seen the work of a God who sees us in ancient stone cathedrals and stained glass in the sand, in monuments and pedestals and what man has made of man; and every documentary and every book I understand brings me back to a God who receives us. CHORUS; I keep coming back, keep coming back, keep coming back to Jesus. I keep coming back, keep coming back, keep coming back to Jesus. I don’t know how Jesus wept or understand why he prayed; I don’t know the why of angels or how a death can save. I don’t know why I want or I give what I gave, but I don’t believe a God who deceives us. I can ask the why of church, when philosophers disagree on the puzzles of the parables-- they make vain decrees, say the psychologists tell us it’s a numbing fantasy, but I keep coming back. I keep coming back (chorus) I’m feeling I’m finding future shock, wisdom out of babes, with a joystick science shooting down the aged, seeing only simple words flying across the page. And all this is supposed to free us. The medium is the message, divine communication cool; something about eternity and a golden rule. The medium is the message-- at a throne they say he’ll rule-- so I keep coming back. I keep coming back (chorus)
