Waiting for God lyrics

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

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

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

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

Did she get lost in the rains?

Or was there a lock-down at school?

Maybe the ice cracked and swallowed the house up

Or did they get caught in the fires?

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

All this talk of faith

The power of all our prayers

Meanwhile kids playin' 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

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

Oh God, who art in heaven

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

Who art in heaven, come

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

Stand with us, may your will be done

(Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)

On Earth as it is in heaven
