VERSE
If There's A God In Heaven (What's He Waiting For)
Elton John
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

About this Song
If There's A God In Heaven (What's He Waiting For) by Elton John is a poignant reflection on the state of the world and the myriad of social issues plaguing humanity. Elton John and Bernie Taupin, who penned the lyrics, delve into questions of faith, justice, and the human condition. The song questions why, if a benevolent deity exists, so much suffering and inequality persist in the world. Key themes include the pursuit of justice, the desire for divine intervention, and a profound sense of disillusionment with the state of human affairs. Particularly striking moments in the song come through in the vivid descriptions of societal ills and the repeated questioning of divine inaction, which underscores the gravity and urgency of the message.
