And taken breath from god

I screamed at the sky, my voice cracked and raw,

"Where were You when the hammer fell,

When the earth split open and swallowed it all?"

The wind just sighed, but it wouldn't tell.

I lit a candle, I cursed Your name, Begged for answers, but none ever came.

Where were You, when the night turned black?

When the river rose, and there was no turning back?

I needed Your light, but the stars stayed cold.

Where were You? I still don't know.

I sat in the pews, heard the preacher's spin,

"His ways are higher, His love

never ends"

But tell that to a mother, clutching empty hands, To a field of crosses on broken land.

Where were You, when the night turned black?

When the river rose, and there was no turning back?

I needed Your light, but the stars stayed cold.

Where were You? I still don't know. Where were You? I still don't know.

If You're the Shepherd, where's the fold?

If You're the Healer, why's this pain so bold?

I'm just a child, lost and small, Can You hear me at all?
