Letter to God (1974)

[Intro]
Did you like how that sounded?
Did you just write that or was that the same one?
Oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna go to Grandma's
So I'm quiet on the drive
I don't wanna go to Grandma's
So I'm quiet on the drive

I saw a deer that must've gotten hit
It made me start to cry
Did he have a mom and dad
And do they argue just like mine?

And did he have a little brother
That annoyed him all the time?
Did he wanna be a grown up?

[Interlude]
You're gonna need to come in on that first part
Come in while she's singing
Okay
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Did he wanna be a grown up?
Were there trees he liked to climb?
There's a boy I went to school with
Who had leukemia at five

Now his parents give him everything
They never yell or fight
They never make him cut his hair
Because they're happy he survived

He didn't have to clean his room
It was enough to be alive
When I was little, I was jealous
And I'd say a prayer at night
Well, I'd say

[Chorus]
Please, God, I wanna be sick
I don't wanna hurt, so get it over with quick
Please, God, I wanna be loved
I don't wanna be somebody that they wanna get rid of

Please, God, I wanna be sick
I don't wanna hurt, so get it over with quick
Please, God, I wanna be loved
I don't wanna be somebody they wanna get rid of
