Heaven, H311, and Here

On the ground is where I lay and gaze into the sky, 
you're not supposed to question God but Lord I ask 
You why,

do recent world events effect the way that people 
live? Why some can't find a job to earn the cash to 
feed their kids.

A thorough explanation is the thing that I seek most, 
my mind is so intuative and I don't mean to boast,

but if there is a scheme so grand I need to ascertain, 
the reason why my people choose to cause and live 
with pain.

The birds that fly to Heaven now fall down from out 
the sky, the world is going crazy with the simple 
question why,

do fish that swim amongst the sea now wash up on 
the beach? What lesson, if there's any, are You really 
trying to teach?

The speculation brewing up by some? It all 
depends, the world and ev'rything we know, that 
soon it all will end,

the question we must ask ourselves before the earth 
is gone, is have we as a people earned the right to 
journey on?

The proof is in the pudding, look one way and back 
around, You'll notice that a lot of folks are napping 
underground,

through no fault of their own they live their days with 
gloom and strife, til someone with a gun arrives and 
BOOM, there goes a life.

I understand that some Dear God exist along the 
edge, of Heaven H*ll & Here, they walk the wire to 
get ahead,

the balancing is worth it, that's what gets into their 
head, the surface though is highly waxed which 
means one slip, they're dead.

The thing that gets me most of all is how we treat 
our kids, they shouldn't have to suffer with the evil 
that we live,

I see them as the future not to quote Ms. Houston's 
song, a sentence of eternal H*ll to those who do 
them wrong.

I think I'm just concerned Dear God if we are on the 
path, of righteousness forever in a world that 
everlasts,

myself I'm far from perfect but I do hope to achieve, I 
thank You God for list'ning don't give up on us, 
believe.
