Dear Father, the world truly needs You now
And the time has come for You to show us the way
We are Your young'uns and I need a guiding hand
It's You we turn to when we just can't understand
How we got so far away
From the path You left for us to follow
Forsake our brothers with no worry for the cost
But with each child that's born another soul is lost
Every eye has turned to You
To put us on the straight and narrow
Tell me, tell me
Father, Father
Won't You hear our call
We truly need You one and all
Father, Father
Can't You hear the cry
From every hill and mountainside
Father, Father
Can't You hear us calling?
Father, Father; can't You hear us calling?
Father, Father
We dump our poison in Your seas and on Your land
Can't help but worry 'bout the present state of man
Nowhere left to turn
But to the only one who holds the answer
Sometimes it's hard to find a single ray of hope
We need Your wisdom and Your strength of will to cope
With the nightmare that we face
In and out of every day
Tell me, tell me
Father, Father
Won't You hear our call
We truly need You one and all
Father, Father
Can't You hear the cry
From every hill and mountainside
Father, Father
Father, Father
Can't You hear us calling?
Father, won't You hear our call
'Cause we need You one and all
Won't You send a ray of hope
We need Your strength to help us cope
Father, Father
Won't You hear our call
We truly need You one and all
Father, Father
Can't You hear the cry
From every hill and mountainside
Father, won't You hear our call
'Cause we need You one and all
Won't You send a ray of hope
We need Your strength to help us cope
