lyrics

What about my daughter?
What about my wife?
What about the plans we made together
For a perfect life?
What about my mother
Who’s living out alone?
What about my red, white and blue blood?
What about our own?

No one ever taught me then
About the world on the other side
My father’s first and only lesson
Was to be a fearless man of pride
Now my only son is next of kin
And he’s changing with the tide
Forgotten all his history
And abandoned all his pride

(Chorus)
Oh Father, hear my prayer
What more do you want from me?
Every week I worship in Your House
Forget not my family
Oh Father, won’t you hear my prayer?
Won’t you help my son to see
To open up our door to foreigners
Is to welcome the enemy

What about our freedom?
My bearing right to arms?
Illegal drugs and trafficking
That brings this country harm?
What about the homelessness?
No-good thugs and sick junkies?
What of pregnant teenage atheists?
There’s no more room for refugees

No one ever taught me then
About religion from the other side
All I’ve ever known of Us and Them
Is that Our Truth begets Their Lies
So, here we are divided left and right
No means to see an end
The talking heads with empty nothingness
Float like feathers with the trend

(Chorus 2)
Oh Father, are you there?
You’ve made a mockery of me
I’ve spent a lifetime praying in Your House
And all for naught, how can this be?
Oh Father, hear my prayer
Was your good book just a lie?
Was the pride I built an empire on
A sin too great to rectify?
