That anchorman says they’re fighting again
 Somewhere in the Middle East 
 The world prays for peace
 There’s a single mom, just got laid off
 Went and lost her job to foreign hands
 In some far away land
 Last night in Oklahoma
 Some twister took thirteen
 And they’re praying they find the missing three
 God must be busy

 That highway sign went from slow ahead
 To traffic’s dead, thought it couldn’t get worse
 Then that Amber alert
 They say she’s four, Colorado plates
 Heading out of state in a Chevy van
 It’s hard to understand
 You can see it in the faces
 Of all those highway strangers
 They’re praying that God keeps girl from danger
 God must be busy

 [bad word] 
 And I know in the big picture
 I’m just a speck of sand
 And God’s got better things to do
 Than look out for one man
 I know He’s heard my prayers
 ‘Cause He hears everything
 He just ain’t answered back or He’d bring you back to me
 God must be busy

 The evening news ain’t much changed
 Pretty much the same since I left home
 Yeah, that war’s still on
 They found that little girl
 She was soaking wet, half scared to death
 On the side of some road
 Them prayers work ya know

 And the blood and the cripes are at it
 And there’s a killer drought down south
 And old folks can’t afford the [bad word] they can’t live without
 God must be busy

 And I know in the big picture
 I’m just a speck of sand
 And God’s got better things to do
 Than look out for one man
 I know He’s heard my prayers
 ‘Cause He hears everything
 He just ain’t answered back or He’d bring you back to me
 God must be busy

 That anchorman says the fighting’s worse
 Cities burn in the Middle East
 The world prays for peace
