Lyrics

Was God sleeping
The night my baby died
I don’t think so
It’s so easy to lay the blame

When He knows all things before they happen
A vision of the night to hold on to
I have that memory of you

I need an extra dose of faith to get me through
Why did God give me someone like you?
Does God Sleep?
I don’t think so, no

Was God sleeping
The night my mama died?
It’s true
She couldn’t take anymore

I hope that mama had the guts to Him in the eye
And say, “I’m sorry
I have no memory of You”

I need an extra dose of faith to get me through
Why did God give me someone like you?
Does God Sleep?
I don’t think so, no

I think God was asleep when He
Let my dad take me out back, you see
In the shade of that old willow tree
And do those awful things to me

I think God was asleep when she
My mom at my sixth grade party
Whispered in my ear gently,
"You're shit, you're shit, you're so ugly"

Where there is one person
There is hope for change...
