This song asks the question, "Who are we to question God?". It is addressed to a skeptic who doesn't believe God exists. Much of this song is taken from what God said to Job in Job chapters 38-40.

You’re not beholden, can’t see anything that’s greater than yourself
But you’re a blamer, ‘cause if anything goes wrong it’s always someone else
And you’re a fighter, its on your terms or its not a deal
But you’re a chancer, playing games with what is real
Like a child reaching out to slap his father’s face,
Unaware that he is resting on his father’s knee.
You point your finger and you say you don’t believe that God exists
“And if he does” you say, “I don’t believe he cares that much of me”.
If you can lay the earths foundations
If you make the darkness light
If you can shape the seas and nations
If you can bring a world to life
If you can halt the stream of moments
If you can guide the ocean breeze
If you can enter into judgement without crawling on your knees
Then it’s OK for you to question God
