That anchor man
Says the fight began
Somewhere in the Middle East.
The world prays for peace.
There's a single mom
Just got laid off when she lost a job
To some foreign hands
In some faraway land.
Last night in Oklahoma
Some twister took thirteen
And they're praying that they find
The missing three.
God must be busy.
That highway sign
Went from slow ahead
To traffic's dead.
Thought it couldn't get worse
Than that Amber Alert.
They say she's 4,
Colorado plates, headed out-of-state
In a Chevy van.
It's hard to understand.
You can see it in the faces
Of all those highway strangers,
They're praying that God
Keeps that girl from danger.
God must be busy.
And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man.
I know he's heard my prayers
Cause he hears everything,
He just ain't answered back
Or he'd bring you back to me.
God must be busy.
That evening news,
Ain't much changed
Pretty much the same
Since I left home.
Yeah that war's still on.
They found that little girl.
She was soaking wet,
Half scared to death
On the side of some road.
Them prayers work, you know.
And the Bloods and Cripps are at it,
And theres a killer drought down south,
And old folks can't afford the drugs
They can't live with out.
God must be busy.
And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man.
I know he's heard my prayers
Cause he hears everything,
He just ain't answered back
Or he'd bring you back to me.
God must be busy.
That anchorman,
Says the fightings worse,
Cities burn in the Middle East.
World prays for peace.
