Special report on the six o'clock news
Another shooting in another school
Six rounds fired three lives lost
A gun in the wrong hand, Oh, what a cost
The whole town gathers as questions fly
Why God allowed three children to die
Then Ol' Mr. Carter stepped forward and said
Seems you've forgotten just what you did
God, wasn't allowed in your school today
But you wanted it that way, didn't you?
God, is not the one to blame
He didn't bring your pain, I say to you
He didn't cause this tragedy
He wasn't there remember you asked Him to leave
Last night I had a terrible dream
There was violence and anger in the streets
No way to escape a world in distress
No houses of prayer, no peace, no rest
And those there among us who wanted God gone
Stood in confusion wondering what went wrong
With their face in their hands not sure what was next
I looked in their eyes and said what did you expect
God, wasn't allowed in your world today
But you wanted it that way, didn't you
God, is not the one to blame
He didn't bring your pain, I say to you
He didn't cause this tragedy
He wasn't there remember you asked Him to leave
Oh, He wasn't there
Remember
You asked him to leave
