Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bullets flying everywhere
Dust in my teeth
I dropped to my knees out there
As they fell at my feet
I pressed my hands on shaking hands
Begged ’em, “Brother, just breathe”
I tried but I couldn’t keep
The life inside of ’em
[Chorus]
Where was God that day?
When the sky turned black and red
I was screaming out His name
Over someone’s only son
Their faces still haunt me in my sleep
I can’t wash that red away
I keep asking in the dark
Where was God that day?
[Verse 2]
Coffees going cold tonight
TV turned down low
Their pictures on the mantelpiece
Smiles from years ago
I see his cap, her Sunday dress
Hear a little girl say “stay”
Every time I close my eyes
They come back the same
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Preacher says there’s mercy
In a plan I can’t see
But I’m stuck with all these questions
And the echo’s killing me
If He’s sitting in the silence
Hearing every word I pray
Tell me, when my hands were covered
Was He looking away?
[Chorus]

Style
country, Sparse country ballad with male vocals, brushed kit, and warm upright bass. Verses sit low and conversational over fingerpicked acoustic and soft pedal steel swells. Chorus opens the vocal, harmony thirds on key lines, drums lean in just a bit. Subtle organ pad in the bridge, everything pulling back for the final chorus so the vocal and lyric ache sit right in front., sleep, heartfelt
