God we beseech you to send another son
The years have passed without salvation
Your firstborn is said to have died for our sins
Yet peace exists today in not one nation
You have permitted us to hope and pray
Though we can’t agree on whom we call
Sometimes we turn our cheeks and take the pain
But mostly we prefer to fight with one and all
We don’t follow your commandments much
Although we act in your name all the same
When things don’t go as we want them to
Because you didn’t listen we rest our blame
We spend great wealth to get your attention
Our churches and temples are created for you
We worship for your love and forgiveness
And make sacrifices of the animals we slew
We’ve come a long way since the days of old
No longer do we crucify great men
Then again if someone said he was your son
No doubt we’d kill him just because we can
