Dear God
Grace Bawden

Dear God is there somebody out there
Is there someone to hear my prayer
I'm a simple child  with simple words to say
Is there some point in asking
Asking for more only got us where we are today

Lost and alone and afraid
Give me love for the lonely
Give me food for the hungry
Give me peace in a restless world
Give me hope for the children
Give me a world wide religion
Give me peace in a restless world
Dear God can you hear me crying
A whole world crying
Looking for something to say

We had it all and we threw it all away
Is there somebody watching
Somebody watching over the mess that we've made

We're lost and alone and afraid

Give me love for the lonely
Give me food for the hungry
Give me peace in a restless world
Give me hope for the children
Give me a world wide religion
Give me peace in a restless world

i know there's something good
Though all our years of solitude go on and on and on and on

Give me love for the lonely
Give me food for the hungry
Give me peace in a restless world
Give me hope for the children
Give me a world wide religion
Give me peace in a restless world

Dear god
