That anchorman saysThe fight began somewhere in the

Middle EastThe world prays for peaceThere's a single mom

Just got laid off when she lost a job to some foreign handsIn some faraway land

Last night in OklahomaSome twister took thirteenAnd they're praying that they find the missing threeGod must be busy

That highway sign went from slow ahead to traffic's dead.

Thought it couldn't get worseThen that Amber AlertThey say she's 4

Colorado plates, headed out-of-state in a

 Chevy vanIt's hard to understandYou can see it in the facesOf all those highway strangers

They're praying that god keeps that girl from dangerGod must be busy

And I know in the big pictureI'm just a speck of sandAnd God's got better things to do

Than to look out for one manI know he's heard my prayers

Cause he hears everythingHe just ain't answered backOr he'd bring you back to meGod must be busy

That evening news ain't much changedPretty much the same since I left homeYeah that war's still on

They found that little girlShe was soaking wet half scared to deathOn the side of some road

Them prayers work, you know

And the blood and cripes are at itAnd theres a killer drought down southAnd old folks can't afford the drugs they can't live withoutGod must be busy

And I know in the big pictureI'm just a speck of sandAnd God's got better things to do

Than look out for one manI know he's heard my prayers

Cause he hears everythingHe just ain't answered backOr he'd bring you back to me

God must be busy
