While God Was Sleeping Lyrics - Farmer Boys

seen things lately 

I can't get off my mind 

they frustrate me 

and keep me up at night 

oh lord, does your watchful eye 

see the news-every night 

via satellite on T.V. 

while my god was sleeping 

pain was on the rise 

when my heart stopped beating 

god was far and sleeping 

a lot like torture 

as pleasant as it seems 

a wheel of fortune 

with sandy beaches and bad, bad dreams 

hey man, what's with your eyes 

what do you see-from up so high 

are you hypnotized or just lazy 

while my god was sleeping 

pain was on the rise 

the blade that cuts so deeply 

made me realize 

while my god was sleeping 

sleeping like a child 

who never said his vespers 

he's sleeping now forever 

I stopped to watch my life 

to watch it passing by?/p> 

I love you god, I pay the price 

I want to make this sacrifice forever 

while my god was sleeping 

strangers lost their lives 

when their hearts stopped beating 

god was far and sleeping 

while my god was sleeping 

sleeping like a child 

who never said his vespers 

he's sleeping now forever
