How long, O Lord? How long will you forget me? Forever? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul With sorrow in my heart everyday? How long will my enemy have the upper hand? I don’t know I threw my prayers to the ceiling But I feel like you don't get them for so long You ain’t been there when I’m slipping You seem indifferent while I sit here alone Why don't you care how I'm feeling? I'm doubting, 'bout to be dipping 'cause you gone Why should I wait for your healing? You ain’t gon make me the villain in this song Did you hear that? Did I come through clear? Did you hear that? Are my prayers the kinda ones you hear? My mama lied, when she said she you right by my side Lord know I tried, no lie, I'm through here I'm in a bind You might hear people's cries, you ain't listening to mine And really I'm fine Cause when I was down, back in '05 and wanted a sign You never replied, guess it just wasn't the time But hey, I don't know your ways But it seems lately that you been in a daze Can't see through the haze My homie lost his son that's crazy, and I know he prays But I heard your son raised, after like three days Hmm, strange If I was the Lord, wouldn't be no pain But you must be bored, or I must be insane Ain't tryna say I'm wiser Lord Just surprised that you ain't nicer Lord
