Headlines screaming in my face
Welcome to another day
More of the same old, same old pain on planet earth (Planet earth)
Sirens flying, no escape
How could I look away?
Too much to get through
We need a rescue
How long do we have to wait on planet earth?
(Planet earth, planet earth)
Oh! Like I'm in a movie that I don't wanna see
Eight billion episodes of tragedy (Aye)
Father, Father
Can you hear us crying out
Even if we don't know how
Father, Father
Oh! We need your love and we need it now
Will you come and dry our tears?
Cause we're all just children here
Are we numb to all we've seen?
Maybe it's just a bad dream
We turn our misery into memes (Memes)
On planet earth (Planet earth, hu, why?)
So much damage to undo (Eh-yeah)
From self inflicted wounds (Eh-yeah)
We went fishing for division (Eh-yeah) Mission accomplished
That's how we living on planet earth (Yeah, eh-yeah)
So we need you, we need you
Father, Father
Can you hear us crying out
Even if we don't know how
Father, Father
Oh! We need your love and we need it now
Will you come and dry our tears?
Cause we're all just children here, yeah, here
Tell us it'll be ok
Show us that you're wide awake
When that sad song don't fade
Remind us that you run this place
No, I'm not ashamed to say
I just need my dad
When it all goes south
Your presence is all around
And when the heart pounds
I know you're familiar with that sound
It's the reason why you made a way out (Way out)
Father, eh-ya-yeah
Father, eh-ya-yeah, Father
Can you hear us crying out
Even if we don't know how
(Oh! Can you hear us crying?)
Father, eh-ya-yeah
Father, eh-ya-yeah
Oh, we need your love and we need it now (Oh, O-o-o)
Will you come and dry our tears? (Yeah)
Cause we're all just children here
(Cause we're all just children here)
And If the pain won't disappear and it won't disappear
We just need to know you're near, you're near, Dad
(Eh-ya-yeah, Eh-ya-yeah)
