yes in a world of no (rewrite)

I learned in catechism 
that God was everywhere
so I looked under the sofa
but I didn't see nobody there
but still I keep on the lookout
everywhere I go
just like I keep on searching
for a yes in a world of no

every morning I rise from bed
to face a brand new day
working in this factory job
for my measly weekly pay
the cash comes in
the cash goes out
never to overflow
still I keep working that daily grind
for a yes in a world of no

amid life's trials and troubles
I've tried to bravely push through
sometimes I'm understanding
but mostly I'm mainly confused
every day I work and sweat and dream
with nothing left to show
except this foolish undying hope
for a yes in a world of no

now the years are speeding by me
I cannot stop to rest
maybe there's satisfaction
in knowing I did my best
but there's one thing I'm sure of
when it comes my time to go
I'll leave this world in search of
a yes in a world of no
