A Recorded Message

To whom are you praying nobody's 
there
Haven't you noticed it's just thin air
There's billions of life forms crawling, 
flying, walking around
Why should words of yours be heard 
above this motley crowd
And then we've got stars with planets 
galore
And this Sky Guy is heard saying no no 
not more
So this Who you're praying to he's 
covering his ears 
And the noise is almost  bringing him 
to tears
There's people who claim to have voices
in their head
Although this Hearer of Prayers has voices
following him even to bed 

BUT

The secret's not out and that's a sure bet
Out of all the prayers comin' today he ain't
heard a one yet 
Because when his hearing aid's off Sky Guy 
is deaf as a stone 
And that's when the voices are finally gone

When his ear device is off he turns the 
prayers over to that Angel who Fell 
And the advice that guy gives to the Prayerful
could only come from Hell

Who's gonna get through the eye of a needle 
when the trumpet blows ?
It ain't gonna be many of those noisy Parkers, 
that's for sure God knows!
