I challenge you to listen to these lyrics. Listen to the whole thing. The music is melodic and beautiful, so that will help. Go ahead, I’ll wait. I just want you to REALLY listen. Every time there is an act of terror, across the globe or right here in our classrooms and night clubs, I wonder to myself, how can people still believe this mythology? (“I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, no devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found and it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound that Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax, and if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in...it's you.) Dear God is a perfect, poetic giant of a song that NEEDS to be heard.
