If There's A God In Heaven (What's He Waiting For?)

On Blue Moves. The song was meant to evoke the Chi-Lites' "There Will Never Be Any Peace On Earth Till God Is Seated At The Conference Table."

Lyrics (Bernie Taupin):
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 profits 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 Well, what's he waiting for

If there's a God in heaven What's he waiting for
