Letter to God (1998)

[Intro: Halsey & Ender Ridley]
— Say, hello, everybody. Hello, nice to meet you. This a microphone, it tells a voice
— What does mommy use the microphone for?
— It's for, for mommy sing
— Yeah, for mommy's singing. Who's your favorite singer?
(Please, God, or whoever you are)
— Mommy

[Refrain]
Please, God, or whoever you are
Please, God, or whoever you are
Please, God, or whoever you are
Please, God, or whoever you are

[Verse]
These days I get less calls 'cause no one wants to hear my voice
I miss the days when I was gettin' texts that I could just avoid
And I've been tryin' to be calm and not pre-emptively destroy
I wonder who here really loves me, or who wants to be employed
Every time I'm in the real world, I just end up paranoid
And stay at home all by my lonesome with my little baby boy
And I watch him on the kitchen floor, he's playin' with his toys
And I don't ever wanna leave him, but I don't think it's my choice
So I'm basking in these moments where I feel a shred of joy
But I don't think my pleas are heard because I'm screaming in the void
I'm screaming

[Chorus]
Please, God, oh, you've gotta be sick
Why do you make it hurt, and why's it over so quick?
Please, God, I'm finally loved
I finally found somebody I don't wanna get rid of
Please, God, is it busy up there? (Please, God, or whoever you are)
You took a little while to respond to my prayer
Please, God, no, this doesn't seem fair
I'm tryin' not to show it, but I'm terribly scared

[Refrain]
Please, God, or whoever you are
Please, God, or whoever you are
Please, God, or whoever you are
Please, God, or whoever you are
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, mm
