Headlines screaming in my face
Welcome to another day
More of the same ole, same ole pain on planet earth
Sirens flying, no escape
How could I look away?
Too much to get through, I need a rescue, how long do we have to wait on planet earth?
Like I'm in a movie that I don't wanna see
Eight billion episodes of tragedy
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
On planet earth
So much damage to undo
From self inflicted wounds
We went fishing for division, mission accomplished, that's how we living on planet earth
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
Tell us it'll be ok
Show us that you're wide awake
When the 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
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
If the pain won't disappear
We just need to know you're near
