If I Could Talk to God

If I could talk to God, I'd have a million questions
If we could sit down face to face
I'd inquire how He likes to spend His days
And if He has any regrets about this world He made

Everywhere I look, children hungry, people hurting
Is it working? Does it really have to be this way?
I think He might say
"Hey, it's really very simple, follow My example"

People, it's not so hard living the right way
Learn to love each other, your sister and your brother
If I could talk to God, I wonder if that's what he'd say
If I could talk to God, I'd look him in the eye and
Ask him about my destiny

Shouldn't I spend my time on grander things
And does it even make a difference anyway
In a world full of confusion am I part of the solution?
And will it take a revolution for the world to change

I think He might say
"Children you're not there for a long, long time"
Is it so hard to just play nice?
