dear god - sarah mclachlan

dear god,
hope you got the letter, and
i pray you can make it better down here.
i don't need a big reduction in the price of beer.
and all the people that you make in your image,
see them starving on their feet
cuz they don't get enough to eat
from god.

i can't believe in you.

dear god,
sorry to disturb you, but
i feel that i should be heard loud and clear.
we all need a big reduction in amount of tears.
and all the people that you make in your image,
see them fighting in the street
cuz they can't make opinions meet
about god.

i can't believe in you.

did you make disease,
and the diamond blue?
did you make mankind
after we made you?
and the devil too?

dear god,
don't know if you noticed, but
your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
as crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look.
and all the people that you make in your image
still believe that junk is true.
well i know it ain't and so do you,
dear god.

i can't believe in you.
i don't believe in you.

don't believe in heaven or hell.
no saints, no sinners, no devil as well.
no pearly gates, no thorny crown.
you're always letting us humans down.
the wars you bring, the babes you drown,
those lost at sea and never found.
it's all the same the whole world 'round.
the hurt i see helps to compound.
the father, son, the holy ghost
is just somebody's unholy hoax.
if you're out there you'll perceive,
that's my heart upon my sleeve.
if there's one thing i don't believe in...

it's you,
dear god.
