Paying Attention

When will she call back
I want her to call back
she said she would call back
but I haven’t heard jack

when will the Lord act
I want Him to act
I am almost at the end of the act
and He hasn’t done jack

I have been paying attention
I used to be too poor
but now I am paying attention

this time life seems important
I want it to be important
but what is really important
this dull moment?

how many bills do I have to pay
I have been paying a lot of bills
when is the last bill I have to pay
when do I get paid back?

life wasn’t this difficult
was it supposed to be difficult
I didn’t know it was this difficult
when I didn’t do jack
