The hurricane came and then went
With many injured and many lives spent
But were our heads bowed or our knees bent
Did anybody take the time to repent
From sleepin’ beds to wide-awake
We eye-witnessed a mighty earthquake
But did anyone think for heaven’s sake
Could it be comin’ from the mischief we make

We don’t pay attention until we see
Impending doom or a tragedy
And then we cry, "Oh woe is me!"
Which makes it clear who’s in charge ya see

(2nd Verse)
The waters poured down but this time no arc
Was it mere happenstance or just a lark
Why do we find ourselves in the dark
Must a celestial voice say the word, "Hark!"
Before we listen to and heed the warning
Of Armageddon or apocalypse dawning
No need for us to be confused or torn when
These things very well could signal the end

We don’t pay attention until we see
Impending doom or a tragedy
And then we cry oh woe is me
Which makes it clear who’s in charge ya see

How many times must this scene be repeated
Before we understand why it was metered
Even the atheist have been defeated
From thinking that God can be deleted

We don’t pay attention until we see
Impending doom or a tragedy
And then we cry oh woe is me
Which makes it clear who’s in charge ya see

Strongs winds blew until nothing was standing
Objects were blown haphazardly landing
And the people were helplessly demanding
That aid be forthcoming without understanding
There was little help any one could render
Until the winds stopped they’d have to surrender
Regardless of race creed or gender
The righteous, along with the flagrant offender

We don’t pay attention until we see
Impending doom or a tragedy
And then we cry,  "Oh woe is me!"
Which makes it clear who’s in charge ya see

The waters poured down but this time no arc
Was it mere happenstance or just a lark
Why do we find ourselves in the dark
Must a celestial voice say the word hark
