Lyrics

I spend a little too much time watching the news these days
Hoping someone might explain what’s going on
I don’t recognize the people or the country that I’ve spent my whole life loving
How did this happen?
How did everything go wrong?
Lying here in bed staring at the ceiling
Trying to find a way to get up and go on believing

Oh Lord
Today I’m praying that you’ll help me find the silver lining
These days it’s hard to even get up out of bed
When I consider all we’ve lost
And try to wrap my head around the cost
So many were so easily misled
Please Lord, help me understand
How all this suffering could be part of your plan
Help me find the silver lining
Cause I don’t think I can.

There are some things that I believe
My neighbor doesn’t feel the same
That used to be OK
But now he goes online and calls me names
And when there’s simple things we’re asked to do
To help our fellow man
But he won’t do the same for me
Lord, I just don’t understand

Oh Lord
Today I’m praying that you’ll help me find the silver lining
These days it’s hard to even get up out of bed
When I consider all we’ve lost
And try to wrap my head around the cost
So many were so easily misled
Please Lord, help me understand
How all this suffering could be part of your plan
Help me find the silver lining
Cause I don’t think I can.

Help me find the silver lining
Cause I don’t think I can.
