Dear God, are you there 
Can you hear me, do you care 
Dear God, here are we 
Less than perfect, far from free 
 
Oh we take what we get and we don't take no more 
But we sometimes forget what it was you created us for 
 
Dear God, now's the time 
If you're listening, show some sign 
Dear God, hear me plead 
Don't desert us in our need 
 
Dear God, lend a hand 
Is this really what you planned 
Dear God, in you we trust 
Though we've failed you, don't fail us 
 
Oh we take what we get but we can't take much more 
Do you sometimes forget what it was you created us for, dear God 
 
I hope and pray you'll lead us to a brighter day 
Out of the darkness and light up our way, dear God 
I hope and pray you'll lead us to a better way 
Love is the answer so light up our way, dear God 
Light up our way dear God, dear God 
Love is the answer so light up our way, dear God
