Letter to God (1974)

I don't wanna go to Grandma's so I'm quiet on the drive

I don't wanna go to Grandma's so I'm quiet on the drive

I saw a deer that must have gotten hit, it made me start to cry

Did he have a mom and dad, and do they argue just like mine?

And did he have a little brother that annoyed him all the time?

Did he wanna be a grown up? Were there trees he liked to climb?

Did he wanna be a grown up? Were there trees he liked to climb?

There was a boy I went to school with who had leukemia at five

Now his parents give him everything, they never yell or fight

And never make him cut his hair because they're happy he survived

He didn't have to clean his room, it was enough to be alive

And when I was little, I was jealous, and I'd say a prayer at night

Well, I'd say, "Please, God, I wanna be sick

I don't wanna hurt, so get it over with quick

Please, God, I wanna be loved

I don't wanna be somebody that they wanna get rid of"

"Please, God, I wanna be sick

I don't wanna hurt, so get it over with quick

Please, God, I wanna be loved

I don't wanna be somebody that they wanna get rid of"
