my lord, why am i always pushing you   my lord, why does your fence electrocute   my lord, if heaven is free to get in   then my lord, why is your guest book so thin      still i try and i fight   and if i might get out of line   i'm only trying to understand why      each night before i go to bed i pray for peace   when i awake i shake my head and count all my bad dreams      still i try and i fight   and if i might get out of line   i'm only trying to understand why      so i wait in the night   for the chance i might hear a sound   and i wait in the night   but my prayers won't get off the ground
