The Shoe - Holy Holy Lyrics

As a kid I learned that there's a hole inside of our hearts
Preacher told me it was shaped like God
I bawled like a baby when I said the prayer
My eight year old brain just knew that there was something out there

I cried holy, holy, holy
To my god on a Sunday morning
From the mountain top how could you not believe in God?
But on a Monday it was raining and my best friend's mother died
Staring longingly up at the mountain from the valley below
I began to ask the questions that nobody wants to answer
If God's so good and he built this game
Then why, why why
Do we have to cry?

And then slowly, slowly, slowly
I crept away from the whole damn party
Broke my mother's heart
And resisted the urge to pray
I'd never felt the peace I found
When I walked away from The Lord
It was like the calm at the end of the storm
If everyone's going to Heaven or Hell
Then some of us will have to burn
But if God's so good and he made it this way
Then why, why, why do we have to cry?
