You said two years ago, God bless this hollow ground
and now that the time has come you don’t want him around
the faith that you seem to show, now has dried and gone
good times won’t last so long.

Blood and sweat, built this town, you aren’t gonna tear it down
freedom is why he came, don’t you go and take his name

You said two years ago, God bless this hollowed house
but now that your kids are gone, you don’t want him around
the faith that you seem to show, now has dried and gone
good times won’t last so long


lyrics by Tobin Bawinkel

Behind the Song:
"This is a response to those who act like God doesn’t matter when life is good but go running back to Him in times of trial. It is written from an observer’s perspective, watching those around him on the fairy boat of pleasure. As soon as it starts to sink, they run to the life boat of Christ. Christ is not an insurance plan but a life choice." - Tobin Bawinkel (Flatfoot 56)
