Used to kneel beside my bed as a kid Just before I’d go to sleep Used to whisper me a prayer, yes I did And ask the lord my soul to keep
Went to church with mom and brother every week my brother dressed in daddys suit and tie And Pastor John would yell to us that Heaven we must seek Before life’s over and we would die But I’d look over at the family next to me And there were Billy with his dad While mine was buried in a box beneath a tree His Union Jack & medals were all I had
Refräng: And I’d look up at the sky Ask God “why did daddy die?” Give me an answer if you hear me, if you care And why do children die in war? While other’s starve cause they’re to poor? Don’t you see that life is sad to us up there? But as I looked up at the sky And listened hard as I would cry I never heard a single voice that I could tell So I sat without a dad I got angry, I got mad and asked myself is there no Heaven and no Hell?
And as I grew, I started watching me the news It told of war and rape and other morbid tales And life for me got harder, I got angry and confused And each time I tried to get up I just fell
I ask is there a God up there , or just you and just me ? Is there somebody that looks down, on us from above ? Is there a devil down below, or just our evil minds, who knows, who knows? Has Mankind made up what is hate and what is love , who knows, who knows?
So when I look up at the sky I no longer start to cry And never hear a single voice that I can tell I still sit without a dad I get angry, I get mad Then I remeber maybe there’s no Heaven and no Hell
