Torn from their families 
Mothers go hungry 
To feed their children 
But children go hungry 
There's so many big men 
They're out making millions 
When poverty's profits 
Just blame the children 
 
If there's a God in heaven 
What's he waiting for 
If He can't hear the children 
Then he must see the war 
But it seems to me 
That he leads his lambs 
To the slaughter house 
And not the promised land 
 
Dying for causes 
They don't understand 
We've been taking their futures 
Right out of their hands 
They need the handouts 
To hold back the tears 
There's so many crying 
But so few that hear 
 
If there's a God in heaven 
Well, what's he waiting for 
 
If there's a God in heaven 
What's he waiting for
