God Said

lyrics

God Said

The sun is beating down on brown earth and brown skin
The guards are beating down on saffron robes and shaven heads
The gods don’t seem to notice the suffering of men
We cry “Why Me…”

“Mommy, I’m thirsty,” baby crying all the night
“Baby, I’m sorry, but the well has been sucked dry.”
She knows the trucks are loaded, and that something just ain’t right.
She cries “why me, why my baby?”

And God said ‘I am everything’
God said ‘I made it all’
God said ‘I am everyone’
Shema Yisrael Hashem Ehad

She wakes up in a fog, there’s something in the air she breathes.
Her daughter isn’t like the others
Why wont she speak?
How did we let Gordon Gekko take control of the streets?
She cries “Why me?”

I wake up in the morning
Music in my pen
Birds outside my window and my lover in my bed
And everyone has been the victim and the one who’s sinned
Why me?

And God said ‘I am everything’
God said ‘I made it all’
God said ‘I am everyone’
La ilaha illa Allah

And this too, my love.
And this too

And God said ‘I am everything’
God said ‘I made it all’
God said ‘I am everyone’
La ilaha illa Allah

Shema Yisrael, Adonai eloheinu, Adonai echad
