Lyrics

ARGUING WITH GOD (Mike Borok)

Someday there’ll be peace, and the Kingdom come
But there’s no peace now here where I come from
And I don’t understand the glorification
Of the parchment Word, and the Word’s interpretations
And I find myself in an unfamiliar trance
Talking to myself, like I expect some kind of answer
I believe He speaks in mysterious ways

So I spend my days arguing with God
Though I sing His praise, I’m still arguing with God
It may be one-sided
It can never be decided
But in my mind I’m arguing with God
Every day I find I’m arguing with God

Now hear my prayer – is there anybody there?
Won't you hear my prayer – is anybody there?
Oh, hear my prayer – is anybody there?

In the daytime hours, when the nightmares come
To the innocent, to the chosen ones
I say a prayer, but I feel no consolation
There are only questions, there’s no explanation
And I find myself both believer and doubter
Does He have two faces, inner and outer?
They say He works in mysterious ways

And I spend my days arguing with God
Though I sing His praise, I’m still arguing with God
Do I hear His voice?
Do I have no choice?
So in my mind I’m arguing with God
Every day I find I’m arguing with God
Does He hear my prayer, why must it be so hard?
In my mind I’m arguing with God
