Dear God Why is there so much pain And hunger and diseases Why are people praying in vain And killing in your name They justify their kill And how can you just sit and watch The rich impose their will On people who are poor And sleeping on the floor Why do we have to lose The ones we love in times of war Why do we have to burn Our fingers just to learn Why do we have to suffer Getting nothing in return Dear God Why don't you stop the violence We hope, we pray, but all we get is silence Dear God Our prayers remain unanswered As a hundred thousand children die of cancer Dear God ♪ Dear God I think I'm going insane The guilty crush the innocent It's such a bloody shame It'll always be the same And that will never change Now how can you just sit And watch them crucify the saints You want us to be loyal You want us to be true But I cannot remember Getting any help from you If it's true that Jesus He died for our sins Then why all these tsunamis And these hurricane winds Dear God Why don't you stop the violence We hope, we pray, but all we get is silence Dear God Our prayers remain unanswered As a hundred thousand children die of cancer Dear God ♪ Dear God Why is their so much grief And rape and murder How can you expect us to believe And get down on our knees Without any guarantees The afterlife is promised Just to make us feel at ease So we won't cross the line And we will stand our time Longing for the afterlife Waiting for a sign A sign that never came If Jesus took the blame Then why are desperate people Carrying a ball and chain Dear God Why don't you stop the violence We hope, we pray, but all we get is silence Dear God Our prayers remain unanswered As a hundred thousand children die of cancer Dear God
