Lyrics
Dear God (Chorus) Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far – far, far away from here. Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly far – far, far away from here. (Verse 1) I woke up that night to the sound of the door slam Hearing my dad screaming, “Bullshit!” and “God Damn!” “These bills still ain’t paid, and I’ve settled for this life for far too long now!” I drop to my knees and I just let the tears fall Last time we had peace? Right now I can’t recall You’re cradling me, telling me to let go of it (Pre Chorus) I kneel there and I pray… And I pray… And I pray… And I pray…. And I pray. (Verse 2) Alone in my room, surrounded by darkness. My eyes are shut tight, feeling so helpless. How do I get out of something I can’t control? The night fills with light, you’ve sent me your angels. Oh, God please come close, tell me there is hope for a better life without all this pain. (Pre Chorus) I lay there and I pray… And I pray… And I pray… And I pray…. And I pray.
