lyrics

holy are you
holy are you

there is no god
there is no god
there is no god

but you

praise be the lord

watched a mother put her daughter in the ground
her eyes produced tears that could only fit love's crown
saltine gems sparkling jewels set in gold
wrapped in linen in a casket like a straight jacket's hold
where were you? I couldn't feel your presence
they say you conquered death but she died in adolescence
a child takes her own life, living in despair
the pastor reads a text says we'll meet up in the air
what is that? does that help anyone at all?
and did you hear her cries when her nose was red and raw
was she ill was she sick was she lonely was she sad
could you have healed her heart and not broke her mom and dad’s?
I don't understand
you say you took on flesh and bear death marks inside your hands
but a serpent and a plant, explain your thwarted plan?
are you watching from afar like some fan up in the stands?

gotta be honest god sometimes it's hard to see
when looking for your face inside my hands upon my knees
you promised to be with me! but I'm feeling a bit deceived
are you with me now like when I first believed?
I made my bed in hell and you swore that you were there
did J-Qwess feel your love lying in that chemo chair?
the world's in disrepair, people living on the streets
children without fathers, religious teachers who mislead
did I misread? that you're working it for good?
have you decreed? is that right? have we understood?
bump that! we need your help right now
maybe if you showed up, every knee would bow
right here! (right now!) on earth like up in heaven
if you’re giving us some lessons why won’t you answer questions?
