I have prayed for G-d to hold me
to lead me through dark nights
when shadows were all my eyes could see
and the darkness became so bright
but G-d has never answered
never held me through such nights
never led me to a place of calm
where goodness was the light.
I have prayed to G-d for knowledge
to understand life's pain
now I know the tears that filled my life
the only truth that still remains
for I have witnessed children dying
I have witnessed man at war
and G-d was nowhere to be seen…
as the body count grew more.
Now I contemplate life's meaning
through all my eyes will see
for a truth my heart can understand
in all that I may be
maybe G-d is somewhere smiling
for all I do not know…?
but today the truth is all I have
having nowhere warm to go.
