Dear God Lyrics

Dear God

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Gary Osborne
Album "21 at 33" 1980

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

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

Dear God, lend a hand
Is this really what you planned
Dear God, in you we trust
Though you've failed you, don't fail us

Oh we take what we get
But we can't take no 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 brighter day
Love is the answer
So light up our way
Dear God
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
