What about me ? An atheist prayer.


Far too many tears my Lord, too many children crying.
Too many children hungry Lord, too many children dying
We\'re burning up the planet Lord, it seems there\'s no release.
The time has come to pay the debt, You\'re calling in the lease.
But what about me? because I\'m the one the matters.
What about me? Does anybody care?
What about me? Is anybody there?
The world is full of people Lord, going their own way.
Not thinking \'bout tomorrow Lord, just hopin\' for today.
A million different faces Lord, but they just pass me by.
Nobody wants to talk to me or look me in the eye.
So what about me? because I\'m the one the matters. 
What about me? Does anybody care?
What about me? Is anybody there?
Society is broken Lord, We re going different ways.
Limiting our freedom Lord, squandering our days.
A global epidemic Lord, all around our shores.
Keeping people prisoners. Locked behind closed doors.
Where society is danger, Loving is a threat.
Government is telling us that we\'re not beaten yet.
Times are so uncertain Lord, Nobody seems to care.
Now would be a good time Lord, to show us that you\'re there.
So what about me ? Have you got my back?
Saving me from danger Lord. Keeping me on track.
And what about me? My people and my home.
What about me? Am I here alone ?
Far too many dying Lord, what are we to do ?
I sometimes lose my faith dear Lord. Lose my faith in you.
Holding back the sadness Lord, don\'t want the tears to flow.
Something\'s gotta give my Lord, I\'ve got to let them go.
Now\'s the time for input Lord, time to interfere.
Show us all the way to go, show us that you\'re here.
Now what about me? My world and life in tatters
What about me? I\'m the one that matters.
What about me? I need to stay alive.
What about me ? Fighting to survive.
I remember old times Lord, people shaking hands.
Hugging one another Lord, people making friends.
Now loving is a killer Lord, is this our journey end?
Maybe you\'ve decided Lord to take it all away?
Because we\'ve made a mess of it, mankind has had his day.
So what about me? Tell me where I stand.
Will good people be saved dear Lord? On your mighty hand.
And what about the good ones Lord? How will you decide?
Does n\'t each and everyone of us, have evilness inside ?
Or will you save the people Lord who just believe in you?
Other creeds and faiths dear Lord, what are they to do?
What about the combat zones ? The battles that rage on.
Who are you supporting Lord? Who\'s side are you on?
So what about me? Selfish, full of hate.
What about me? What will be my fate?
What about me ? Longing to be free.
What about me? Show yourself to me.
