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]
