Dear God, is there somebody out there?
  Is there someone to hear my prayer?
  I'm a simple man with simple words to say
  Is there some point in asking?
  Asking for more only got us where we are today
  Lost and alone and afraid
  
  Give me, love for the lonely
  Give me, food for the hungry
  Give me, peace in a restless world
  Give me, hope for the children
  Give me, a worldwide religion
  Give me, peace in a restless world
  
  Dear God, can you hear me crying?
  A whole world crying
  Looking for something to say
  We had it all and we threw it all away
  Is there somebody watching?
  Somebody watching over the mess that we've made
  We're lost and alone and afraid
  
  Give me, love for the lonely
  Give me, food for the hungry
  Give me, peace in a restless world
  Give me, hope for the children
  Give me, a worldwide religion
  Give me, peace in a restless world
  
  And we need to know there's something good
  Though all our years of solitude go on and on and on...
