We gotta make a change
Do it for a greater day
It's time that we save our place
Before it's just too little too late
People living under wage
Dying from our own exchange
Nobody's on the same page
Feeling like we're lost again

Got me saying, "Dear Lord"
Uh, you got me saying, "Dear Lord"
Dear Lord
Dear Lord

Living with our shackles on the government's gotta take it off
What about personality?
Now it's just the picture on the screen, what about inequality?
Being black is harder than it seems
What about thinking logically?
Killing youth's mentality
Global health's another problem too

We don't have enough hospitals
Don't get me started on climate change
Nature dying is a real thing
We're turning up into insanity
Pray for generations coming
How's my child suppose to feel secure
When war is waiting at the front door?

You got me saying, "Dear Lord"
Oh-oh-oh-ooh, Dear Lord
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, Dear Lord
Uh, you got me saying, "Dear Lord"

(Dear Lord, hmm, hmm)
(Dear Lord, dear, dear, dear, dear)
(Dear Lord), We got some problems, baby (dear, dear, dear, dear)
(Dear Lord), say a prayer (prayer)
Ooh, ooh, say a prayer (prayer, prayer)
You got me saying, "Dear Lord" (prayer, prayer)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, say a prayer (prayer, prayer)
