Letter to God (1974)

I don't wanna go to Grandma's, so I'm quite on the drive

I don't wanna go to Grandma's, so I'm quiet on the drive

I saw a deer that must have gotten hit, it made me start to cry

Did he have a mom and dad and do they argue just like mine?

And did he have a little brother that annoyed him all the time?

Did he wanna be a grown-up?

Did he wanna be a grown-up?

Were there trees he liked to climb?

There was a boy I went to school with who had leukemia at five

Now his parents gave him everything, they'd never yell or fight

They'd never make him cut his hair because they're happy he survived

He didn't have to clean his room, it was enough to be alive

When I was little, I was jealous, so I'm gonna say a prayer at night

Well, I'd say

Please God, I wanna be saved

I don't wanna have to live for this pain

Please God, I wanna be loved

I don't wanna be somebody that they want to get rid of

Please God, I wanna be saved

I don't wanna have to let it go this way

Please God, I wanna be loved

I don't wanna be somebody they wanna get rid of
