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"
