Songs About God

It's a calm day outside
With wind and rain blowing
But I'm feeling like
My soul's overflowing

I hate that I'm falling
Still faster and more
I wish I could stop this
And beat my old score

So I'm sitting here hearing these songs about God
Ranting and screaming and carrying on
I feel no presence, just calls of his name
If there is one out there, he's not listening

It's a hard world out there
I know I'll be seeing
I want her by my side
So I'm not always fleeing

Her smile in my head
Her hand on my heart
Please, all I ask
Is for one graceful start

So I'm sitting here hearing these songs about God
Ranting and screaming and carrying on
I feel no presence, just calls of his name
If there is one out there, he's not listening

I wish and I want and I feel and I need
But the streets are still narrow and small
If the sky will always be that far away
Then why do I bother at all?

I'm sitting here hearing these songs about God
Ranting and screaming and carrying on
I feel no presence, just calls of his name
If there is one out there, he's not listening
If there is one out there, he's not listening
If there is one out there...

God's not listening.

Author notes

Teenage angst and wonder. I don't believe in God, at least not the Christian version of him, so this isn't about religious faith. It's more focused on life. Not just what's going on in mine at the moment and the questions I have, but others and how some center their whole lives around God and what he can do for them. Yeah. Anyway. This was also inspired by the movie Bruce Almighty. xD

The songs about God I was listening to that also inspired this (all from the Bruce Almighty soundtrack):
"One of Us" by Joan Osborne
"God-Shaped Hole" by Plumb
"You're a God" by Vertical Horizon

Also, please don't get offended by these lyrics. I don't mean anything by them.

    Don't say you don't mean anything by it when you were inspired to write something. If anyone has a problem, they could have stopped reading at any moment (:
