Children of a Lost God


who do i pray to when my eyes are teary
when i'm ready to collapse, my bones are weary
staring into the sky i try to see clearly
falling to my knees, can you hear me?!

cuz i'm trapped inside
and wandering

wondering if i'll ever find what i seek
crying to the heavens everytime i speak

all these thoughts i hide
i'm pondering

stumbling, hands scarred from where i land
crying to the heavens cuz i know that i am

a child of a lost God, seeking the facts
pain driving me down til i get weak and collapse
i have free will so i can speak and i ask
if i'm beloved, is it true the weakness will pass?

why do i pray, you just sit in silence
and i'm led astray by fits of violence
still man worships you because it's the timeless
tradition but now i question, will you find us?!

cuz we're trapped inside
and wandering

wondering where will this lead us
into the hands of Allah, Krishna, Yahweh or Jesus?

all these thoughts i hide
i'm pondering

stumbling, thru the lands we see far
crying to the heavens cuz we know that we are

children of a lost God, seeking the facts
pain driving us down til we get weak and collapse
we have free will so we can speak and we ask
if we're beloved, is it true the weakness will pass?

cuz i'm trapped inside
and wandering

wondering if i'll ever find what i seek
crying to the heavens everytime i speak

all these thoughts i hide
i'm pondering

stumbling, hands scarred from where i land
crying to the heavens cuz i know that i am

trapped inside
and wandering

wondering where will this lead us
into the hands of Allah, Krishna, Yahweh or Jesus?

all these thoughts i hide
i'm pondering

stumbling, thru the lands we see far
crying to the heavens cuz we know that we are

children of a lost God, seeking the facts
pain driving us down til we get weak and collapse
we have free will so we can speak and we ask
if we're beloved, is it true the weakness will pass?
