Lyrics

My bills are bigger than the checks I’m getting
The rumor is the shop will be shutting down
Somedays I feel like giving up and quitting
I’m listening for your voice as I cry out
Where are you now?

CHORUS:
And the evening breeze blowing through the trees
I send you prayers from on my knees
Begging you God please talk to me
If you’ve answered Lord I must have missed it
Are you near, ‘cause all I hear are crickets

I came out here to do a little thinking
Lay in the grass and stare up at the sky
If you exist why do you keep me waiting?
Do you care if your children live or die?
Why do I even try?

CHORUS:
‘Cause all I hear are crickets
And the evening breeze blowing through the trees
I send you prayers from on my knees
Begging you God please talk to me
If you’ve answered Lord  I must have missed it
Are you near, ‘cause all I hear are crickets

BRIDGE:
I thought I’d hear you in the thunder
A big voice up in the sky
I never dreamed you’d speak so softly
Like a whisper in the night

CHORUS:
And now I hear you in those crickets
And the evening breeze blowing through the tress
I send you prayers from on my knees
But I hear you when you talk to me
You’ve always answered Lord I just missed it
I know you’re near, ‘cause now I hear you in the crickets
Oh Lord, I hear you in the crickets
