[hometext] => A lost faith in God
[bodytext] => A girl with black eyes looked up to the Heavens and cried. God was a story, a fairytale, a lie. As a child she knew she believed But now she knows she only thought she believed Because she was taught to believe. She hated God for playing favorites For choosing which of his followers to bless. Surely it wasn’t a coincidence so many people grew up happy And her life turned out such a mess. Where was God in grade school When no one looked her way? Why did he only put friends before her That wanted to hurt her and push her away? Where was he when her mom started drinking And everyone in the family sat like stones And she was the only one screaming Because she was the only on that sat alone. Where was God when she met that girl If he so disapproves of it Why didn’t he teach her a lesson And fill her heart with guilt? Where was he when that girl broke her heart? Was he up in the heavens glaring down? Thundering an ‘I told you so’ with a most discerning frown? Where was God when she accepted those drugs That haunt her to this day? Because she runs and runs to get away from them But she cannot get away. Where was God when her mom had that affair To warm her soul when she felt numb? To whisper and console her heart Until the crying was all done? He must not care The black eyes close And the tears stain the face. He must not care, and I swear That if that is the case Id rather be down here on this lonely Earth Then up there In that awful and wonderful place.
