Letter to God (1974) Lyrics

I don′t want to go to Grandma's, so I′m quite on the drive

I don't want to go to Grandma's, so I′m quiet on the drive
I saw a deer that must have gotten hit, it made me start to cry
Did he have a mom and dad and do they argue just like mine?
And did he have a little brother that annoyed him all the time?

Did he wanna be a grown-up
Did he wanna be a grown-up
Were there trees he liked to climb?
As a boy I went to school with a pedicure at five
Now his parents gave him everything, they′d never yell or fight

They'd never make him cut his hair because they′re happy he's so fine
I didn′t have to clean his room, it was enough to be alive
When I was little, I was jealous, so I'm gonna say a prayer at night
Well, I′d say

Please God, I wanna be saved
I don't wanna have to live for this pain
Please God, I wanna be loved
I don't wanna be somebody that they want to get rid of

Please God, I wanna be saved
I don′t wanna have to let it go this way
Please God, I wanna be loved
I don′t wanna be somebody they wanna get rid of
