[Verse 1] Off the school bus, in a car, following the sun. One who's traveling many roads and one who's just begun. Wheels take hold, turn for home with silence in the air. What's your day, son, looking glum, and something going on. He'd like to share. But not a word is spoken, and the boy can only stare. Out the moving window on that road, you as anywhere. [Verse 2] 6:00, supper's on, mama's cooking till the end. Family gathers, boy sits still slumped down in his chair. Hands reach out around the table. Dad begins to pray. Boy let's go, hurries out with hands bowed. Thanks still left to say. [Verse 3] But not a word is spoken as his footsteps climb the stairs. His bedroom door flies open and the traces of his tears can be heard in the hallway. You as anywhere. [Verse 4] Mom and dad run to his side, what is going on? But he can hardly get the words out on his own. He asks, when I'm in doubt, who can I trust? When I'm in need, who will bless me? Who only knows who hears me pray? Who do I thank for the day? [Chorus] Daddy, why, why do they want to take God away? Oh, mommy, why, why do they want to take God away? [Verse 5] They just smile and tell him and wipe away his tears. Little boy no longer, he must face the world. You as anywhere. [Verse 6] God is life, a father, son must let his children grow. They make mistakes along the way, and some never know. We seem where divided this land headed for a fall. But we're one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. [Final Chorus] When I'm in doubt, in God I trust. When I'm in need, God will bless me. God only knows, God hears me pray. I thank the Lord for each day. Son, they don't know what they do or what they say. They'll never take God away. [Outro] Oh, son, they don't know what they do or what they say. They'll never take God away.
