Waiting for God

Waiting for God to show up We're keeping our fingers crossed Can't seem to make sense of all of this madness Waiting for God to show up (On and on, on and on) (On and on, on and on) Look what they did to her boy And nobody's blinking an eye She's choking on sadness with no hope for justice Just look what they did to her boy (On and on, on and on) Did she get lost in the rains? Or was there a lockdown at school? Maybe the ice cracked and swallowed the house up Or did they get caught in the fires? (On and on, on and on) (On and on, on and on) All this talk of faith The power of all our prayers Meanwhile kids playing video games They fall but they don't get up Who have we become? What do we do now? The waving of our flags And tears won't bring them back Waiting for God to show up We're keeping our fingers crossed Smiling at fireworks that light all our skies up While black boys get shot in the back Were they caught riding their bike Or guilty of walking alone? I can't seem to make sense of all of this madness Just waiting for God, keep waiting for God to show up (On and on, on and on) (On and on, on and on) Oh, God Who art in Heaven Who art in Heaven, come Stand with us May your will be done On Earth as it is in Heaven (On and on)
