If there's anything you'd like to say that
could help me in any way
Cause I've been waiting for so long for
you to come along
Help me on that day
When you take over all the things heaven
has made for you
Is there anything you think you should
know
Is there anything before I go?
Dear Father (repeat)
I'm hungry, I'm cold
Feeling terribly old
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
They're on their own, needing a face, a
place,
Iope and mind, a home
To see what goes on in the world
They're who you need
To show them why they're wrong, oh why
indeed
We need to go on in the world
Here is all you see
Everything is made for you from me.
If there's any complication that you'd
like to talk over with me about
'Cause I've been waiting for so long for
you to come along
We can work it all out
repeat pre-chorus
Dear Father (repeat)
You must be putting me on
'Cause most of their minds are gone
They run on T'understand me
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
Dear Father (repeat)
Can I give it a miss
'Cause I'm not ready for this
I don't think I can see
I'm not feeling good like I think I should
Dear Father (repeat)
Won't you leave me alone
Won't you let me go home
I don't think I could see
Lord, they'd crucify me
I just couldn't do that
'Cause that's not where it's at now.
