While You Were Sleeping Lyrics

This song is about abortion, veiled with the biblical references to 'missing' Christ or not being aware of Him returning. The real crux of the song is this:

'United States of America Looks like another silent night As we're sung to sleep by philosophies That save the trees and kill the children'

It's saying, our beliefs are all wrong. We're more likely to chain ourselves to trees than campaign for the unborn.
