Shooting Stars

Thoughts and prayers
On falling stars
Your heart was there
But god hath no heart

Prayers and thoughts
On raining lights
Just put a Band-aid on
The hole in the sky

Oh holy one
What have you done
Why do they believe you
After being through
All the reasons that I can’t move on

Rough and misplaced
Broken my faith
Why should I be silent
Not like god took my breath away

Misplaced and rough
You weren’t wrong
You gave your heart
But there is no god (I have no one)

Oh holy one
What have you done
Why do they believe you
After being through
All the reasons I can’t move on

Oh holy one
What have you done
If you just existed
If you just would listen
My resistance would crumble to none

I would hold you
So don’t hold on to him
I wouldn’t punish you
I don’t count your sins

But I’m just a girl
One girl
And he hath the world

Oh holy lord
You dropped the ball
You laid your burden
On the shoulders
Of all the people you’ve hurt

But every war we fought
Against your very thought, tired
Meant we were wrought
Through hell’s fire
And like iron we somehow survived

I wish I liked
Shooting stars
But they’re just holes in the sky
