Dear God

Dear God,
Can you hear me?
Are you listening now?
It's been a long time since I've talked to ya, you see?
I seemed to have ignored you somehow,

Dear God,
These are just some questions to you,
Is my daddy ever coming back?
How long is Momma gonna feel blue?
Has my heart gone cold and black?

Dear God,
I've been feeling afraid and lost,
My friends are the only people I can really talk to,
I'm not sure if I can carry my cross,
I can't believe I almost forgot you,

Dear God,
I'm sitting outside with all the trees,
Looking up to the sky to see your face,
And trying to figure out what life means,
And I'm wondering if me and Jesus could have traded place.
