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…      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
