Torn from their families
Mothers go hungry
To feed their children

But children go hungry
There's so many big men
They're out making millions

When poverty's profits
Just blame the children


If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for
If He can't hear the children

Then he must see the war
But it seems to me
That he leads his lambs

To the slaughter house
And not the promised land


Dying for causes
They don't understand
We've been taking their futures

Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears

There's so many crying
But so few that hear


If there's a God in heaven
Well, what's he waiting for


If there's a God in heaven
What's he waiting for
