[Intro]
Dear God, I'm doing the best I can
[Verse 1]
Spinning round, falling down
World just keeps on turning
Chaos breeds, people's needs
When we should be learning
And I want something more
For you and me to dream on
Oh, I've been looking for something to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
So now it's time for letting go
I've got to let my feeling show
I won't be coming back
I'm calling out around the world, calling out
[Chorus]
Calling out around the world
I'm telling everyone I see
Time to take a chance again
And free the dream, the dream in me
[Post-Chorus]
Dear God, I'm doing the best I can
(I'm doing the best I) I'm doing the best I can
[Verse 2]
Love me now, show me how
I forgot the feeling
Take me there, anywhere
Hatred turns to healing
'Cause I want something more
That I can put my faith in
Oh, I've been looking for something to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
So now it's time for letting go
I've got to let my feeling show
I won't be coming back
I'm calling out around the world
[Chorus]
Calling out around the world (Calling)
I'm telling everyone I see (Calling, calling around the world)
Time to take a chance again (Calling)
And free the dream, the dream in me (Calling)
[Post-Chorus]
Dear God (Dear God), I'm doing the best I can
(I'm doing the best I) I'm doing the best I can
(I'm doing the best I) I'm doing the best I can (Hey!)
[Bridge]
I can feel the peace coming, the love coming
Feel the force of change humming, a change coming
I don't have to keep running, I got love...
[Pre-Chorus]
I've got this vision in my mind
A prayer of peace, I hope to find
I won't be coming back
I'm calling out around the world
[Chorus]
Calling out around the world
I'm telling everyone I see
Time to take a chance again
And free the dream, the dream in me
[Outro]
Dear God (Dear God), I'm doing the best I can (Calling out around the world (Calling))
(I'm doing the best I) I'm doing the best I can (I'm telling everyone I see (Calling, calling around the world))
(I'm doing the best I) I'm doing the best I can (Time to take a chance again (Calling))
(And free the dream, the dream in me (Calling, calling around the world))
Dear God (Dear God)
