Torn from their families

Mothers go hungry

To feed their children
F

But children go hungry

There's so many big men

They're out making millions
Em

When poverty's profits
F

Eb Dm
Just blame the children
Am
If there's a God in heaven

What's he waiting for
F
Am7
If he can't hear the children
F
G
Then he must see the war
Am
But it seems to me
C
That he leads his lambs
Eb
Dm
To the slaughter house
Eb Dm C
And not the promised land
Dying for causes
They don't understand
We've been taking their futures
Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears
There's so many crying
But so few that hear
Am

If there's a God in heaven
Am
G
Well, what's he waiting for
Am
C Eb Dm
If there's a God in heaven
Eb Dm C
What's he waiting for
