where once I walked, the thorns have grown
the trees have died, the storms have blown
those few survived to tell the tale
of loss, of strife of death's unveil.
Where is God? they sneer in scorn
My father died of lack of corn
My brother died where he was born
you heard my plight my heart is torn
The sky is dark no rain, no shine
I'm tired and angry all the time
If I could run or die I would
the energy's gone I wish I could
eyes to the sky, I swell my chest
I go to scream with one full breath
then a blanket falls upon my chest
a long distance call from God no less
HOW DARE YOU BOY
YOU KNOW YOUR GIFTS?!
OF ALL I GAVE WHILST YOU DID LIVE?
THAT DAD YOU KNEW THAT GIRL YOU LOVED
THAT RAIN I GAVE FROM UP ABOVE?!
YOUR BREATH YOUR LIFE YOUR SIGHT YOUR TEAR?
THAT'S WHAT I GET? A SCORNFUL SNEER?!
I LOVE YOU SON, YOU ARE MY SOUL
I CREATED YOUR LIFE SO YOU WOULD KNOW
WHAT I WILL GIVE YOU MUST LET GO
FOR YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW
THIS WORLD WAS TRASH WE NEED IT NEW
I AM THE STRENGTH YOU FIND IN YOU
you hurt because your loved ones died
I understand just why you cried
But here's the truth, they are with me
as happy and wonderful as can be.
There is a reason you have it rough
It's because I made you extra tough
It's for that reason you were left behind
to spread the gospel one last time
I love you son, I'm with you now
so wipe that tear, lets go to town.
