Elton John - If There's a God in Heaven (What’s He Waiting For?) lyrics

Torn from their families mothers go hungry
To feed their children
But children go hungry
There's so many big men
They're out making millions
When poverty's profit's
Just blame the children

If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If He can't hear the children
Then He must see the war but it seems to me
That He leads his lambs
To the slaughter house
And not the promised land

Dying for causes they don't understand
We've been taking their futures
Right out of their hands
They need the handouts
To hold back the tears
There's so many crying but so few that hear

If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If He can't hear the children
Then He must see the war but it seems to me
That He leads his lambs
To the slaughter house
And not the promised land

If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If He can't hear the children
Then He must see the war but it seems to me
That He leads his lambs
To the slaughter house
And not the promised land

If there's a God in heaven
Well, what's He waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
If there's a God in heaven
What's He waiting for?
