Waiting for God Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Waiting for God to show up
We're keeping our fingers crossed
Can't seem to make sense of all of this madness
Waiting for God to show up
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)

Look what they did to her boy
And nobody's blinking an eye
She's choking on sadness with no hope for justice
Just look what they did to her boy
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)

Did she get lost in the rains?
Or was there a lockdown at school?
Maybe the ice cracked and swallowed the house up
Or did they get caught in the fires?
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)

[Bridge]
All this talk of faith
The power of all our prayers
Meanwhile, kids playin' video games
They fall, but they don't get up
Who have we become?
What do we do now?
The waving of our flags
And tears won't bring them back

[Verse 2]
Waiting for God to show up
We're keeping our fingers crossed
Smiling at fireworks that light all our skies up
While black boys get shot in the back

Were they caught riding their bike?
Or guilty of walking alone?
I can't seem to make sense of all of this madness
Just waiting for God, keep waiting for God to show up
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)

[Outro]
Oh God, who art in heaven
(It goes on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Who art in heaven, come
(It goes on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Stand with us, may your will be done
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
On Earth as it is in heaven

What did Garbage say about "Waiting for God"?

Those words were the ones I spent the most time on and I wanted to get just so and I wept when I sang them. It was just me and my husband and I’ve only played the record for two people and both times when it comes to that song I’ve burst into tears. I am so outraged by what’s happening all over the...

What else have the artists said about the song?

I would have felt really disappointed in myself if I hadn’t touched on systemic racism on this record. It really is something that’s just become more and more pressing on me. When Trayvon Martin was murdered—this beautiful 17-year-old kid, walking home at night in a hoodie, holding a bag of Skittles...
