That anchor man says the fight began Somewhere in the Middle East, world prays for peace There's a single mom just got laid off when they lost a job To some foreign hands, some faraway land Last night in Oklahoma some twister took thirteen And they're praying that they find the missing three God must be busy That highway sign went from slow ahead to traffic's dead Thought it couldn't get worse than that Amber Alert They say she's four, Colorado plates headed out-of-state In a Chevy van, it's hard to understand You can see it in the faces of all those highway strangers They're praying that God keeps that girl from danger God must be busy And I know in the big picture I'm just a speck of sand And God's got better things to do than look out for one man I know he's heard my prayers 'cause he hears everything He just ain't answered back or he'd bring you back to me God must be busy At evening news ain't much changed Pretty much the same since I left home Yeah, that war's still on They found that little girl She was soaking wet, half scared to death on the side of some road Them prayers work, you know And the Bloods and Crips are at it And there's a killer drought down south And old folks can't afford the drugs they can't live without God must be busy
