Lyrics
Hey, God
There's some things I need to ask you
I don't mean to be a bother
So just get back when you can
Don't get me wrong
I still believe you'll answer
It's just my faith and hands are shaking
'Cause it's hard to understand
How an eighteen-year-old boy
Could trade in his jersey
For a dirty pair of army greens
And fly away so soon
Do you smile or cry when an angel comes home?
Is it hard looking down on us when we feel like we're alone?
How did you give your only son to a world that doesn't care?
I need to know
'Cause right now, I'm there
Just one more thing
If he's sitting there beside you
Could you tell him that I'm proud?
I don't think he ever heard me say that
And, God, it hurts
'Cause I know you both forgive me
Oh, but how can I forgive me
When I gotta live with that regret?
And all these questions
There's sure not enough answers
How's a simple man supposed to make sense of it all?
Do you smile or cry when an angel comes home?
Is it hard looking down on us when we feel like we're alone?
And how did you give your only son to a world that doesn't care?
I need to know
'Cause right now, I'm there
I still hear his footsteps down the hall and
See him throwing that football and
Watch him laugh till he starts to cry
Playing with fireworks on the Fourth of July
And, God, did you ever feel like that?
Did you ever feel that lost
Watching Jesus on the cross?
And do you smile or cry when an angel comes home?
Is it hard looking down on us when we feel like we're alone?
And how did you give your only son to a world that doesn't care?
I need to know
I need to know
'Cause right now, I'm there
