I Am Lonesome In This Place Mighty God

Here I am, still wondering who I am
I am nothing like my dad or my mom
There is no rhythm in my life, just a low tuneless hum
And the sound of a loud and strange distant drum

I am running out of fuel, but life remains a tedious race
I am lonesome in this place 
Mighty God

The sky is always falling somewhere in the world
A plane crashes or a bomb goes off, in the midst of a crowd
Either you are deaf to this, or misery has no sound
But it has plenty of versions if you look around

Men waging war on men, because of a difference in race
I am lonesome in this place
Mighty God

The rich have no compassion or regard for the poor
Diseases everywhere, now half of them with no cure
Whatever plans you have for us, I am not really sure
But humanity is in danger, as good leaders grow fewer

All the suffering in this world, can the bible really erase?
I am lonesome in this place
Mighty God

My heart breaks as many times as it beats
Along with others i am drowning in the sea of defeats
Relationships fail, families break and love retreats
When ancient religion and modern technology meets

Good and evil walk side by side, but evil has a faster pace
I am lonesome in this place
Mighty God

This old earth no longer free, it now has a price tag
Land so expensive, yet there is no gold to be dug
Just for a man to buy a house, before the banks begin to nag
And the man who wore a suit one day, now wears a rag

Yet you made a universe, with plenty of room out in space
I am lonesome in this place
Mighty God

Then every evening, in the shark i call a bedroom
I cover myself in a blanket hiding away from the doom
I feel so scared in the dark, I might as well be in a tomb
I regret the day i came out of my mother's womb

Sunrise ends my torment, but another dreadful day i must face 
I am lonesome in this place 
Mighty God.
