Philip Labes - Dear God, lyrics

Dear god
Maybe my letters haven't reached you
Did you change addresses recently?
Did I forget the stamp?

Dear god, I know that letters are a classic
But I figure you're old fashioned
So I thought I'd take the chance

Dear god
Did you see that movie with Jim Carrey?
Did you think it was funny
Or did it make you mad? Dear god
I know it's gauche to ask for favors
But maybe you could save her
From the cancer that she has

A hundred billion letters
And they've all gone unanswered
Maybe that's not fair of me to track
Dear god
I swear I'm not as desperate as I seem
So if you get a second, write me back

Dear god, thanks for the soil and the sky
If that's even your department
Maybe that's someone else
Maybe you're the pestilence and
Chaos kinda guy in which case
You and your stupid kid can go to hell

Dear god
Sorry for that stuff I wrote you last time
The cancer ran it's course
And lately I just feel confused
Did you not get my letters? I
Put on some extra stamps
I feel like you could have saved her
But you weren't in the mood

A hundred billion letters
And they've all gone unanswered
Maybe that's not fair of me to track
Dear god, I swear I'm not as angry as I seem
So if you get a second, write me back

Dear god
I know it's been a while since I wrote you
But I've been doing yoga
And I swear I've gotten zen
I like being alive
And I want to keep on doing it
But so did everybody else
And it never worked for them

But sometimes in the forest
Or the wide and blue horizon
I feel something rising
And I know that I'm okay
When I'm sitting in a sunbeam
Or laughing with my lover
I write you an angry letter
But then I throw it away
