Well, it was tuesday afternoon and i was angry
Tryin’ very hard to be alone
I spent my last three bucks on coffee
And i put on my headphones without the music
’cause i didn’t wanna talk to anyone
It’s been a long few days, few weeks, few months
One more show and i swear that i’m done
And out of the corner of my eye, i saw two people
This chubby guy and this lanky girl
And they were walkin’ straight towards me
In their birkenstocks and matching blue t-shirts
And i swear to god
If they ask me for a donation, i might scream
It’s been a long few days, few weeks, few months
And i don’t care how callous i seem
Well, they asked me for my name and i said, “mackin”
And they said, “hi mackin! we’re from a christian group
And we’d love to pray for you today if that’s alright with you”
And i would have loved to have started a debate
’cause it’s very fun to feel like you’re correct
But the cynic deep inside of me
Well, he had no energy left
So i just sat there as they said to me
If you could ask god for one thing
What would you ask him for?
Yeah if you could god for one thign
Mackin, what would you ask him for?
I sat there cryin’
What a simple question
I wish i had an answer
Maybe i’ll pray for my sister
I hope that she stays sober
Maybe i’ll pray for my mother
I think she needs a friend right now
Maybe i’ll pray for my friend robin
She just had a kid and the dad went to jail
Maybe i’ll pray for the sick or the homeless
Or maybe i’ll for the hungry
Or the kids without enough medicine
Oh, if you could ask god for one thing
What would you ask him for?
And who am i to ask for anything for anyone?
Let alone myself
Paul and sarah said a few prayers
Shook my hand and walked away
I sat there watching the squirrels for a while
I wish that i had something to say when they had asked me
’cause they didn’t ask for anything else
No pamphlet, no donation
Just two people trying to help
It’s been a long few days, few weeks, few months
It’s been a long few days, few weeks, few months, few years
