Lord,I Know We Don't Talk

In a motel room, with the Bible out

Combing scriptures for answers about

What's happening now

'Cause I cant believe my eyes

And I just don't trust my ears

But I've heard a man can always come find

Some solace here

And Lord, I know that we dont talk

Often at all anymore

But desperate folks do desperate things

So I'm stapling this note to your door

Please, turn the ship around

And lock the course in place

And keep the train tracks nailed to the ground

Or pull the emergency break

'Cause I've lost my faith in man

Just like I once lost faith in you

And I've been covering all kinds of ground

Thinking hard 'bout what else i could lose

And I know how I look

To come crawling back

Acting like you owe me proof

But this is bigger than me

I think it's bigger than you too

So if this gets to you

Yeah if you ever come home

Just know I won't be awaiting the postman

I will not be glued to my phone

I'll know a change has come

I'll know that you exist

When all our bombs stop exploding

And when all of those landmines are stripped

And we stop blowin' up strangers' houses

And making orphans of innocent kids

And people stop thinking the world's theirs for the taking

'Cause your world once told them it is

'Til then, i'm gonna shake my head

I'm gonne bite my tongue

When people tell me, 'Have faith and be patient,

We're waiting for God to show up.'

Yeah 'til then, it's one more skeptical song

And i'll be glad as hell

If you come and prove me wrong
