Where has he gone?
  Oh holy one, can you save us now?
  See we live in a world where we get killed at school
  At a concert 22 dead, this is happening
  At a bar 50 died, this is happening
  How many more children of this earth have to die?
  All of them, he tells me.
  Because either their political, religious, or nationality are wrong
  Why does our skin affect our worth?!
  Why does our sexual preference affect our worth?!
  Why does the borders we represent put a target on our back?
  Our sons and daughters fight your wars
  Still so young that they have hope to return
  Can someone fight in a war they do not believe in?
  They can't.
  Maybe that is why we lose your war.
  Oh holy one, are you coming or are we waiting?
  For a godless man who’s done playing with his toys.
  Is that all we are?
  Broken toys that needs replacing.
