GOD IF IT’S JUST FOR TODAY

I see you walkin’ my way but
our eyes never meet
Stuck tryin’ to find meaning through
your telephone screen
Ahh-haa
What happened to empathy?
Ahh-hmm
Are all sympathies lost on me?

Oh God
Why am I treated this way?
Dear God
Will you hear what I have to say?
Ahh-haa
Now I’m on my knees to pray
Ahh-hmm
God-if-it’s-just-for-today

Like nobody can see me and do I exist?
My mother never said there’d be days like this
Ahh-haa
Living with mental illness
Ahh-hmm
They say I’m just too sensitive.

Oh God
Why am I treated this way?
Dear God
Will you hear what I have to say?
Ahh-haa
Now I’m on my knees to pray
Ahh-hmm
God-if-it’s-just-for-today

So I sit in the shadows
just off to the side
Trade my tomorrows
for some of your time
Ahh-haa
These long and lonely nights
Ahh-hmm
God save me from my mind

Oh, God
Why am I treated this way?
Dear God
Will you hear what I have to say?
Ahh-haa
Now I’m on my knees to pray
Ahh-hmm
Show me some mercy and grace

Ahh-haa

Now I’m on my knees to pray

Ahh-hmm
