Story Behind The Song

Lee & I wrote this song that openly discusses views and questions regarding religion and the existense of God. We just want to know why there is so much pain thrust upon so many good people throughout the world and if there really is a "god", why God permits such things to happen.

Song Description

Melodic Alternative. Controversial but universal story about someone who's faith has been shaken by the bad things that happen in the world, and puts out a dare to His God...

Lyrics

IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD HIGH UP IN HEAVEN,
HE'D BE LOOKING DOWN UPON US AND HE'D SEE,
ALL THE HURT AND ALL THE ANGER
THAT TEARS THIS WORLD APART.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD THIS WOULD NOT BE.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD PLEASE SPEAK TO ME...

AS I PEER THROUGH STAINED GLASS WINDOWS,
I THINK OF WORDS I WANNA SAY.
BUT HOW CAN SIMPLE WORDS CONVEY
LIFE IN A COMPLEX WORLD TODAY?
CAN YOU HELP ME MAKE THESE TROUBLES GO AWAY?

I ONCE BELIEVED IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
I USED TO TRUST MY FELLOW MAN.
BUT A 'RAIN' OF TERROR WASHED AWAY
THE INNOCENCE OF YESTERDAY.
HOW YOU LET THIS HAPPEN,I CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD HIGH UP IN HEAVEN,
HE'D BE LOOKING DOWN UPON US AND HE'D SEE
ALL THE FEAR AND THE FRUSTRATION
THAT TEARS THIS WORLD APART.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD THIS WOULD NOT BE.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD, I PRAY TO THEE.

I'M SEEKING DIVINE INTERVENTION
'CAUSE I NEED TO KNOW YOU'RE SOMEWHERE IN OUR MIDST.
SOMETIMES I LOOK AROUND AND SEE
A WORLD OF HATE AND MISERY
AND I WONDER IF YOU REALLY DO EXIST.

[chorus]

DID YOU REALLY WALK ON WATER,
DID YOU PART THE SEA,
AND DID YOU TURN THE WATER INTO WINE?
'CAUSE LATELY MIRACLES ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.
IF YOU'RE OUT THERE
AND YOU HEAR ME,
GOD, GIVE ME A SIGN,
SOME KIND OF SIGN.

WE'RE COMMITTING SINS AGAINST EACH OTHER,
BUT YOUR FOLLOWERS SAY THEIRS ARE NOT THE SAME.
THEY PREACH IT'S WRONG ABORTING LIFE,
SO SHOOT THE BUTCHER AND HIS WIFE.
CHRIST, THEY'RE JUSTIFIED
BY KILLING IN YOUR NAME.

IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD HIGH UP IN HEAVEN.
HE'D BE LOOKING DOWN UPON US AND HE'D SEE
THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE IN CONTRADICTION
'CAUSE IT RIPS MY WORLD APART.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD THIS WOULD NOT BE.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD,
MY HEART, IT WOULD NOT BLEED.
IF THERE REALLY IS A GOD
PLEASE PRAY FOR ME...
