Partial lyrics from "Prayers of a Fool"
Deep in a battle is a soldier
Who keeps the faith amidst the strife
He still thanks God for all his blessings
And most of all, his pregnant wife
He prays to heaven for protection
“Please send the angels to be at my side”
But no sooner are his words spoken
Than a bullet ends his life
When the prayers of the faithful reach across time and space
Will God turn and listen, or simply turn away?
There are humans who go through trials
Even the angels could not endure
When the prayers of the faithful
Are the prayers of a fool
No, you can’t blame a human for believing God is cruel
When the prayers of the faithful
Are the prayers of a fool
Not to say that those who pray are fools, it's just that as we bare our souls and beg for mercy that our loved ones will be spared, it often seems as though God thinks of us as fools.
