Dax - Dear God (Lyrics)

[00:01.26] I just want to make this clear

[00:04.74] I am a believer

[00:08.49] But sometimes it gets hard

[00:12.14] My name is Dax

[00:14.65] (Dear God)

[00:16.66] Dear God

[00:17.65] There's a lot of questions that I have about the past (can you hear me?)

[00:19.39] And I don't want hear it from a human you made

[00:21.39] So you're the last person that I'm ever gonna ask

[00:23.64] Tell me what's real, tell me what's fake

[00:25.89] Why is everything about you a debate? (Why?)

[00:27.88] What's the point of love?

[00:28.87] Every time I've showed it

[00:29.64] I was broken and it's forced me just to only wanna hate

[00:31.90] Why's there only one you but multiple religions? (Why?)

[00:34.14] Why does every conversation end in a division? (Why?)

[00:36.14] Why does everybody want to tell us how to live

[00:37.82] But they won't listen to the same damn message that they giving? (Fuck them)

[00:40.32] Tell me how to feel, tell me what's wrong

[00:42.32] I tried to call, pick up the phone (pick up), I'm on my own

[00:45.22] Everybody says you coming back

[00:46.47] Then man why the hell's it taking so long?

[00:48.47] Why do I hurt? (Why?)

[00:49.51] Why is there pain?

[00:50.49] Why does everything good always have to change? (Why?)

[00:52.57] Why does everybody try to profit off another man's work

[00:54.83] Then destroy it just for monetary gain? (Fuck them)

[00:56.80] Tell me are you black or are you white?

[00:58.05] I don't even really care I just really want to know what's right

[01:00.30] They been saying one thing but I've been looking in the book

[01:02.57] And it seems like they've been lying for my whole damn life

[01:04.81] Tell me where I'm going (where?)

[01:06.30] Is it heaven or hell?

[01:07.05] I just hope this message greats you well

[01:08.56] I had a dream that I was walking with the devil

[01:10.23] Don't remember how it feels but I swear that I remember the smell

[01:12.71] Looked me right into my eyes and told me everything I wanted

[01:14.66] Could be mine if I gave up and decided to sell

[01:16.90] But I said I'd rather die then get mine now I'm here

[01:19.17] No fear one man with a story to tell

[01:21.16] Dear God, where were you when I needed it?

[01:22.64] When I fucked up and repeated it?

[01:24.39] When they set the bar and I exceeded it? (Where were you?)

[01:25.65] My life is like a book that they've been judging by a cover

[01:27.65] But have never took the time to fucking read the shit (fuck 'em)

[01:29.39] I remember telling you my goals and my dreams

[01:31.56] But you didn't even answer so I guess you didn't believe in it

[01:33.50] I remember sitting with a gun to my head trying to ask

[01:35.67] You for some help but I guess you didn't believe in it!

[01:37.66] I don't want religion I need that spirituality

[01:39.67] I don't want a church I need people to call a family

[01:41.66] I don't wanna tell my sins to another sinner just

[01:43.67] Because he's got a robe and he went to some academy

[01:45.74] I don't wanna read it in a book, I wanna hear it from you

[01:48.00] Don't wanna learn it in a school because they're hiding the truth

[01:50.01] Don't wanna talk about it to another fucking human being

[01:52.26] And that's only reason that I even stepped in this booth

[01:54.25] Dear God

[01:56.26] How do I take this darkness and turn it into light?

[01:57.99] How do believe in a concept where I speak to a man

[02:00.41] I've never seen with my own two eyes?

[02:02.16] How do I know that religion wasn't made

[02:04.08] Just to separate the world and create a whole disguise

[02:06.26] Just to keep us in these chains while the rich get richer

[02:08.44] And the poor pray to you and perpetuate a lie?

[02:10.43] How do I know this ain't some big joke? (How?)

[02:12.18] How can I have faith when there is no hope? (How?)

[02:14.37] How the hell does one man have a hundred billion dollars

[02:16.60] And we still have people on the street that are broke?

[02:18.54] There's a lot of things I wanna talk about and get off my chest

[02:20.79] I can't sleep 'cause the devil won't let me rest

[02:22.80] I used to know a fucking pastor in a church

[02:24.71] And I can still hear the screams of the kids he would fucking molest

[02:27.13] Dear God, do you hear me? (Do you hear me?)

[02:30.64] I'm supposed to fear you but you ain't said shit

[02:32.89] So maybe it's you who actually fears me?

[02:35.13] I don't know the answer I just want to see it clearly

[02:37.13] So many lies there's a thousand different theories

[02:39.14] All I want to know is who really made religion

[02:40.88] Because I know it wasn't you but don't nobody believes me

[02:43.15] No more lies, no more death

[02:45.14] Bring back King, bring back X

[02:47.15] Please dear God let their souls rest

[02:49.15] Protect who's left and watch their steps

[02:51.65] Dear God

[02:53.81] I don't want to have to ask you again

[02:55.31] I just hope that you know that I'm still a believer

[02:57.47] So I'll end this all by saying, "Amen"

[03:05.13] It's Dax
