Dear God

Dear God, can you tell me where my daddy's gone
Is there anyone who can hear my cry
He doesn't have the time for any fun, can you tell me why
I'd like to laugh with him and tumble on the floor
But compared to church and other things I seem to be a bore

Dear God, can you tell me where my mama's gone
To the prayer meeting or to a friend in need
With tears I begged her not to go, she didn't pay me any heed
Now it's got to be real fun, serving the Lord
'Cause compared to church and other things, I'm sure I'm just a bore

But mama and daddy
I need you to

Dear God, I'm sorry you're so far away
That I can hardly hear your voice at all
Now I'm not so sure there was anyone really there at all
And when I'm old enough I'll never darken your door
'Cause compared to all the universe I'm sure I'm just a bore

But mama, mama and daddy, daddy
I need you too, yes, I do, and yes, I do
