Dear Lord

(Chorus) Dear-lord Tell me what we're-for If we're-caused By mere chance or if we're-more And if you want us all through those heavenly doors Then why did you make us so we're-flawed? Dear-Lord..... (Verse 1) 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 trying to 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 endeavours-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-a-sign..... (Chorus) (Verse 2) 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 worlds 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 peoples-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 man made 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)
