Dear God
Seeking Answers: Reflections on Life's Purpose and Faith in "Dear God" by Elton John
Lyrics
Dear God, are you there
Expressing a questioning and seeking tone, asking if God is present.
Can you hear me, do you care
Seeking assurance of God's attentiveness and care.
Dear God, here are we
Acknowledging human existence in the presence of God.
Less than perfect, far from free
Recognizing human imperfection and lack of freedom.
Oh we take what we get and we don't take no more
Describing a practical approach to life, accepting what comes.
But we sometimes forget what it was you created us for
Highlighting a tendency to forget the purpose of human creation.
Dear God, now's the time
Appealing to God in the current moment.
If you're listening, show some sign
Asking for a visible sign of God's presence.
Dear God, hear me plead
Pleading with God to not abandon humanity in times of need.
Don't desert us in our need
Expressing a sense of desperation and dependency on God.
Dear God, lend a hand
Requesting divine assistance and involvement in human affairs.
Is this really what you planned
Questioning whether the current state aligns with God's original plan.
Dear God, in you we trust
Affirming trust in God despite human failures.
Though we've failed you, don't fail us
Pleading for God not to abandon humanity despite their shortcomings.
Oh we take what we get but we can't take much more
Reiterating the acceptance of life's challenges but expressing limits.
Do you sometimes forget what it was you created us for, dear God
Highlighting the recurring tendency to forget the purpose of creation.
I hope and pray you'll lead us to a brighter day
Expressing hope and prayer for guidance towards a brighter future.
Out of the darkness and light up our way, dear God
Seeking to move away from darkness and requesting divine illumination.
I hope and pray you'll lead us to a better way
Continuing the plea for divine guidance towards a better path.
Love is the answer so light up our way, dear God
Identifying love as the solution and asking for divine intervention.
Light up our way dear God, dear God
Repeating the request for divine guidance and intervention.
Love is the answer so light up our way, dear God
Affirming love as the answer and requesting divine enlightenment.
