The morning paper is staring at my face 
The headlines still the same 
I guess my feelings changed 

I see a picture of a war a child in pain 
Questions in his eyes 
But no one to explain 

'Cause God is asleep 
Leaving this world to our trust 
God is asleep 
And he has no time for us 

A woman is screaming at the burning sun 
Promises were made 
But the food supplies won't come 

And a young man is burning candles in a church 
Death is in his blood 
But his prayers are not heard 

'Cause God is asleep 
Leaving this world to our trust 
God is asleep 
And he has no time for us 

And all the preachers keep their silence 
No miracle today 
The prince of darkness lies in wait 
To fade us all away 
He has closed his eyes 
And we all wonder why... why 

'Cause God is asleep 
Leaving this world to our trust 
God is asleep 
And he has no time for us
