Should God Forget

And voices louder now, not loud enough

The world around you crawls

And sleeps in other beds and never mind

I see no time and there's not time enough

To burn it all away

I see no hands to hold no faith to praise

No celebration no parade, should God forget you?

And all their faces say

There's nothing owed, there's nothing owed you

It gets too dark, it gets much darker now

Your lies around you fall

On all your plans, on all your wasted time

You watching second hands make second hand

And faith's for those who pray

But all your tears are gone and thrown away

And there's no 'cause to take his place, should God forget you?

And all their faces say

There's nothing owed there's nothing owed you

I see no time and there's not time enough

To burn it all away

I see no hands to hold no faith to praise

And voices louder now, not loud enough

The world around you crawls

And sleeps in other beds and never mind

No celebration no parade, should God forget you?

And all their faces say

There's nothing owed, there's nothing owed you

And there's no cause to take his place, should God forget you?

And all their faces say

There's nothing owed, there's nothing owed you
