Lyrics
That anchor man
Says the fight began
Somewhere in the Middle East
The world prays for peace
There's a single mom
Just got laid off when she lost a job
To some foreign hands
In some faraway land
Last night in Oklahoma
Some twister took thirteen
And they're praying that they find
The missing three
God must be busy
That highway sign
Went from slow ahead
To traffic's dead
Thought it couldn't get worse
Than that Amber Alert
They say she's four
Colorado plates, headed out-of-state
In a Chevy van
It's hard to understand
You can see it in the faces
Of all those highway strangers
They're praying that God
Keeps that girl from danger
God must be busy
And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man
I know he's heard my prayers
'Cause he hears everything
He just ain't answered back
Or he'd bring you back to me
God must be busy
That evening news
Ain't much changed
Pretty much the same
Since I left home
Yeah that war's still on
They found that little girl
She was soaking wet
Half scared to death
On the side of some road
Them prayers work, you know
And the Bloods and Cripps are at it
And theres a killer drought down south
And old folks can't afford the drugs
They can't live without
God must be busy
And I know in the big picture
I'm just a speck of sand
And God's got better things to do
Than look out for one man
And I know he's heard my prayers
'Cause he hears every thing
He just ain't answered back
Or he'd bring you back to me
God must be busy
That anchorman
Says the fightings worse
Cities burn in the Middle East
World prays for peace
