I spent years being angry at God
I thought he didn't hear my prayer
Nothing seemed to change for good
So maybe he just didn't care
Then why did he plan creation
Humans with a conscience and heart
He knew we'd be doomed for failure
Destroy ourselves and fall apart
There are starving little children
Who suffer from disease and pain
While those who control the money
Nothing to lose, but more to gain
There are people who are homeless
Who would never have chose to be
Our Government took everything
The cardboard box they left was free
There are victims being abused
Who bear the bruises from the fights
But it appears that the abuser
The law is protecting with rights
There are some who suffer silent
Who their doctor just hands a pill
But shortly after their suicide
He mails them out their final bill
There are the elderly we've shamed
Who are, but to easy to ignore
They worked hard and sacrificed
To live lonesome, fretful and poor
There are those serving our country
Who fight, not even knowing why
So many have given their lives
Chief beat his chest with a war cry
There are those that are criminal
Who murder with a depraved mind
They can go off the grid for years
But innocent people they find
There are drugs killing our children
Who were looking to have some fun
NASA found life on a new planet
What about the lives on this one
There are those who are drowning
Who were forced as a refugee
There goes another cruise liner
Vacationers on the same sea
God can this chaos ever stop
God will you cease what we began
Accept us back, I beg you God
Renew again your perfect plan
