[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 1]
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?
[Bridge 1]
I sat there cryin'
What a simple question
I wish I had an answer
[Bridge 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 4]
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
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
[Verse 2]
And out of the corner of my eye, I saw two people

And they were walkin' straight towards me

And I don't care how callous I seem
