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
