Dear God
Dear God,
I found my way home, I found my way home, I found my way home
Dear God,
I found my way home, I found my way home
Dear God, growin' up, I always prayed
Said your name probably over 100 times a day
Never met you, couldn't see you, but had a lot of faith
Thank Mom and Dad for introducing us at a young age
As I grew a little older, though, so did my mind
Curiosity turned to skepticism in due time
Began questioning all the rituals and little rhymes
From the sacred books they said you wrote each and every line
How could you, but they said you did, so you must've
Wasn't hundred percent sure, but in them I trusted
So I bowed, kneeled, sat in silence and even read
Went to the temple and prayed every night before bed
Looking back now I'm not really sure what 'prayer' meant
I guess closing my eyes and doing what other people said
And askin' for things, like any other kid
Interesting the relationship that you and I had, huh?
Hold my hand
Hold my hand
So I don't walk alone
Callin' your name
Callin' your name
Don't know where to go
I found my way
I found my way
I found my wayyyy…home
And now, I'm yours, oh yeh, yeh
By the time I got to college, God, I prayed much less
Except for... before eating, understandable, I guess
See I wasn't clear from the start as to who you really were
And then I saw and heard so much fear it all became a blur
I thought religion was supposed to be pure, and not bad
When I saw people use your name in vain, it made me sad

And that was just the start, even worst was segregation
Temples, Mosques, churches, synagogues, different congregations
They all spoke your gospel, even posted up your paintings
But behind your name, in the dark they murdered and defamed-
Instead of love, God, intolerance and greed has pervaded
Hallow at the marketing, but shallow in the faith
I was jaded, God, didn't really understand the reason,
How all your children in your name could dare commit treason
So I kept my distance and just prayed that one day
You'd bring it all together in my heart and just explain…
When I hit thirty God, the clouds started to part
The answers started seepin' in, I think you heard my call,
You started showin' up everywhere, not only when I'd fall
But every small blessing, I could start to feel it all
The love, the patience, the angel, the satin
How we're all sinners who fall, but get up to be saints
The humility, the grace, acceptance of all the change,
Suddenly not being kind, started to feel strange
You used to be a statue, but not anymore
I see you more outside the walls, than inside those doors
You're Mother Nature, the sun, the water and the dirt,
My enemy, my best friend, what hits me at my core,
Most of all you're my teacher, to be a better soul
Fallin' down, getting up, so every moment I can grow
You are in me, God, you are the deepest root,
From darkness to light, you are my Inner Truth
Dear God,
I found my way home, I found my way home, I found my way home
Dear God,
I found my way home, I found my way home
Dear God,
I found my way home, I found my way home, I found my way home
Dear God,
I found my way home, I found my way home
