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 profits, 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
Well, 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 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
(4x):
If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for
