Chorus:

Dear Lord,

Tell me what we're for
If we're caused by chance
Or if we're more


And if you want us all
Through those heavenly doors

Then why would you make us so
We're flawed?


Dear Lord
Dear Lord


If you can hear me
I need to ask you a few questions


Dear Lord, if you truly exist
Then why create a world so truly amiss?
Full of inequality and as unruly as this

With no sense of why we're here floating through the abyss?

Where's the logic or divinity

In a world where stupidity occupies the vicinity?
I've comprehended to the best of my ability
But still it seems I view the holy trinity cynically


Why make us pay for the sins that we commit
If you designed us and pasted them in?

So contradictory I can't find a place to begin
These books hold as much weight as the pages within


And I ain't try'na undermine your belief
I know it's blasphemy to do something as minor as speak
But if you think you know the truth and your mind is at peace

I'm glad for you, 'cause mine is never likely to cease

Are we meant to sever the search for answers

Just 'cause of a verse we read in a church?
If we'd never put our exploring endeavors to work
We'd still think we could fall off the edge of the earth!


And this "plan" ain't so wholly divine
If you go to hell when not believing is solely your crime

If you let innocent lives die when you're supposedly kind
Tell me why, Lord, show me sign!


Chorus:

Dear Lord,

Tell me what we're for
If we're caused by chance
Or if we're more


And if you want us all
Through those heavenly doors

Then why would you make us so
We're flawed?


Too many nights man I wonder why are we here on this earth?
What's beyond the sky?
Would we even know if we lived a hundred lives?

Wish I could see this world's mysteries undisguised

See we know we're just a drop in the ocean of this universe

Each person dropping their notions but for me
No answer can be properly opened
By any amount of bibles or prophecies spoken


Man who wrote them? And which religion is right?
How can there be this many religious divisions despite there being one God?

Each envisioning life in different light
With different rules to live and recite


What if there's no way to reach any higher?
No afterlife when we die, no peace and no fire
If all religions are just reflections of people's desires
Made to seem as equally dire as the need to respire


What if the threat of eternal agony
Just plays on mankind's inherent greed and savagery?
If heaven and hell ain't places we're taken magically
But what we make of earth! Be it peace or tragedy!


'Cause if this ain't manmade then dear lord,
What did you leave us here alone on a sphere for?
If your love for us would leave us in sheer awe
Why make us so we're flawed? Why help engineer wars?


Chorus:

Dear Lord,
Tell me what we're for
If we're caused by chance

Or if we're more

And if you want us all
Through those heavenly doors
Then why would you make us so
We're flawed?


Dear Lord
