Lyrics

Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
 Dear God, I see your face in all I do
 Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it...
 But God, I know you have your reasons
 (Uh huh)
 They said he's busy hold the line please
 Call me crazy, I thought maybe he could mind read
 Who does the blind lead?
 Show me a sign please
 If everything is made in China, are we chinese?
 And why do haters separate us like we siamese?
 Technology turning the planet into zombies
 Everybody all in everybody's dirty laundry
 Acid rain, earthquakes, hurricane, tsunamis
 Terrorist, crime sprees, assaults, and robberies
 Cops yellin' stop, freeze
 Shoot him before he try to leave
 Air quality so foul, I gotta try to breath
 Endangered species
 And we runnin' out of trees
 If I could hold the world in the palm of these
 Hands, I would probably do away with these anomalies
 Everybody checkin' for the new award nominee
 Wars and atrocities
 Look at all the poverty
 Ignoring the prophecies
 More beef than broccoli
 Corporate monopoly
 Weak world economy
 Stock market topplin'
 Mad marijuana, oxycotton and klonopin
 Everybody out of it?
 Well I've been thinkin' about
 And I've been breakin' it down
 Without an answer
 I know I'm thinking out loud
 But if you're lost and around
 Why do we suffer?
 Why do we suffer?
 (Uh huh)
 Yeah... It's still me, one of your biggest fans
 I get off work
 Right back to work again
 I probably need to go ahead and have my head exam
 Look at how they got me on the Def Jam payment plan
 Well, I'm in the world of entertainment and
 Trying to keep a singing man sane for the paying fans
 If I don't make it through the night, slight change of plans
 Harp strings, angel wings, and praying hands
 Lord, forgive me for my shortcomings
 For going on tour and ignoring the court summons
 All I'm trying to do is live life to the fullest
 They sent my daddy to you in a barrage of bullets
 Why is the world ugly when you made it in your image?
 And why is livin' life such a fight to the finish?
 For this high percentage
 When the sky's the limit
 A second is a minute, every hour's infinite
 Dear God, I'm trying hard to reach you
 Dear God, I see your face in all I do
 Sometimes, it's so hard to believe it.
