Under the Red Sky · 1990

God Knows

The eighth track on Under the Red Sky, a song of faith that builds from quiet to a full band.

The words

The singer finds comfort in the belief that God sees everything, including the troubles between people.

Addressed partly to a lover and partly to the world, the song rests on the idea that God understands what people cannot say or fix themselves. It acknowledges hardship, separation and a world that may end, yet holds to a steady trust. Each verse returns to that refrain of divine knowledge. The recording starts sparse and gathers force, ending in a rousing, rock-driven finish.
