Oh, My God

Oh my God, look around this place

Your fingers reach around the bone

you set the break and set the tone

For flights of grace, and future falls

In present pain all fools say, "Oh my God."



Oh my God, why are we so afraid?

We make it worse when we don't bleed

There is no cure for our disease

Turn a phrase and rise again

Or fake your death and only tell your closest friends

Oh My God



Oh my God, can I complain?

You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief

Weddings, boats, and alibis

All drift away, and a mother cries



Liars and fools, sons and failures, theives will always say

Lost and found, ailing wanderers, healers always say

Whores and angels, men with problems, leavers always say

Broken hearted, separated, orphans always say

War creators, racial haters, preachers always say

Distant fathers, fallen warriors, givers always say

Pilgrim saints, lonely widows, users always say

Fearful mothers, watchful doubters, Saviors always say



Sometimes I can not forgive

and these days mercy cuts so deep

If the world was how it should be, maybe I could get some sleep

While I lay, I'd dream we're better, scales were gone and faces lighter

When we wake we hate our brother, we still move to hurt each other

Sometimes I can close my eyes and all the fear the keeps me silent

Falls below my heavy breathing, what makes me so badly bent?

We all have a chance to murder, we all have the need for wonder

We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the thunder



Sometimes when I lose my grip, I wonder what to make of heaven

All the times I thought to reach up, all the times I had to give up

Babies underneath their beds, in hospitals that cannot treat them

All the wounds that money causes, all the comforts of cathedrals

All the cries of thirsty children, this is our inheritance

All the rage of watching mothers, this is our greatest offense

Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God
