Torn from their families, mothers go hungry
To feed their children, but children go hungry
There's so many big men, they're out making millions
When poverty's profit, just blame the children
If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for?
If he can't hear the children, then he must see the war
But it seems to me, that he leads his lambs
To the slaughter house, and not the promised land
Dying for causes, they don't understand
We've been taking their futures, right out of their hands
They need the handouts, to hold back the tears
There's so many crying, but so few that hear
If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for?
If he can't hear the children, then he must see the war
But it seems to me, that he leads his lambs
To the slaughter house, and not the promised land
If there's a God in heaven, what's he waiting for?
If he can't hear the children, then he must see the war
But it seems to me, that he leads his lambs
To the slaughter house, and not the promised land
If there's a God in heaven
Well, what's he waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for?
