[Verse 1]
There's a pilot impaled to a wing
And he's dead
And all the passengers, they are missing
'Cause they're dead

[Chorus]
Oh someone tell me why
I'm alive, I dont even care
And yet, I have been spared

[Verse 2]
There's a girl with a hole in her heart
And she's dead
And there's an infant that's been torn apart
Now he's dead

[Chorus]
Oh someone tell me why
I'm alive, I dont even pray
And yet, I have been saved

[Refrain]
The good Reverand Carlon was right
He said "When you pray
Only fifteen percent of the time will you get your way"
If God doesn't listen to our cries when we call
Someone tell me, what's the point of praying at all?
[Verse 3]
There's a man and he lives in the sky
So they said
And he watches us all of the time
So I've read

[Chorus]
So someone tell me why
It could be he won't talk to me
Could it be, that I'm deaf?

[Refrain]
The good Reverand Carlon was right
He said "When you pray
Only fifteen percent of the time will you get your way"
If God doesn't listen to our cries when we call
Someone tell me, what's the point of praying at all?

[Outro]
If God is all knowing
And God is all seeing
Just who do you think that you are to change his mind?
He already knows what you want
And decided that you didn't need it
So don't bother asking for cures or an answer
God is the one who gave you the Cancer
