God and Democracy

Lightning struck the steeple
You could see it for many miles around
All the towns people
Stopped, startled by the sound

There came this awful crack
The sky turned orange black
And bricks started raining on the ground
With the loudest boom I ever heard
I watched that church fall down

There's a man on the TV screen
Talking the same nonsense every day
And I don't mean to be mean
But we don't need more clichés

I'm tired of cheaters driven by greed
Angry old tweeters who don't like to read
Where are the leaders who know how to lead
Who always find the right thing to say
If this town still had a church
I would go there and pray

I feel my faith start to fade
In the storybook plans that we made
I'm hopeful but I'm frayed
Can we still find our way?

The things we once believed in
They've all seemed to disappear
Like God and democracy
What comes next Isn't clear

Foundations start to creak
And people start to freak
Like we're all doing this year
And if there's nothing left to hold on to.it's just about the fear

I feel my faith start to fade
In the storybook plans that we made
I'm hopeful but I'm frayed
Can we still find our way?
Can we still find our way?
Can we still find our way?

Just trying to find my way
I'm hopeful but I'm frayed
Can we still find our way?
Can we still find our way?
Can we still find our way?
