2020

What does that year mean to you?

For some of us, it was a year of prosperity and blessings

But for many of us, it was a year of fear, loss, and death

As time went on, it was nothing more than that

Time

As the days got more grey and the end seemed more bleak

We called to You, Lord for answers

But You remained silent

Waking up to another school shooting, and a brand new deadly strain

I wake up to the rioting and looting, in a world filled with so much pain

I know that the world's broken, refugees falling out of planes

I try not to be outspoken, but it seems nobody else can explain why

The terrorists are reigning and humans beings don't have rights

In heaven, right now, it must be raining, as the day is swallowed up by the night

As a boy gets gunned down at fourteen

Now everybody's posting R.I.P

Then, they all forget about him in a week

As an Innocent man gets the death penalty

Welcome to the land of the free

To the land of the free

I tell my closest friends all about you

And they ask me where you are

'Cause when I tell them to drop down on their knees

They think they're wishing on a shooting star

It kind of feels like you were lying

This nightmare's in my head rent free

Of me and my family dying

The life of Riviera dreams

What's lost can not be found, no matter how hard I look

Thought you could pull us out the ground, but now, I know it's just a book

The planet that you made is overheating

If you made us in the garden of eden

Why can't you bring us home
