lyrics

Each one of us is gifted
With a speck of the divine
Our better nature cried
When that speck, it up and died
And now we're told to take a number
To take our place in line
As the list of the affected
It’s growing all the time
I'm just a shell of what I was
Now I'm just a fraction
It started in my head
I think it's causing a reaction
I can't feel a thing
I've been head to toes impacted
They say we're desensitized
That we're all chasing distraction
What are we waiting on?
Some great revolution?
 
So I ask the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
Which of your children do you love the most?

So now I sit here waiting
I'm just waiting all the time
But at least there's a connection
The first and last just met in line
You see it stretched around the world
And if we reach our arms out wide
I could touch you where you're standing
Even on the other side
 
And no I haven't got the answer
God must not have had the time
Or maybe he's just up there crying
And he hasn't heard the line
But God I'm calling calling calling
And if you ever find
You're at home, pick up the phone
Because I have got to ask you why

And what are you waiting on?
Some great transformation?

So I ask you Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
Which of your children do you love the most?
