Dear God, Can We Talk?

(solo)

[Intro]
Dear God, can we talk for a minute?
Just me and you, I got some things on my chest
Feels like I'm lost in the dark, searching for light
Can you hear me?

[Verse 1]
I messed up, I confess, I ain't perfect, I admit
Made mistakes, did some shit I’d rather forget
Valued wrong, saw life through broken lenses
Trying to change, trying to mend these defenses
(Solo)

[Pre-Chorus]
They insulted me, belittled me, stole my pride
Heart heavy, I’ve carried this pain inside
Did some wrongs, but did some right
Fighting my battles in the dead of night

[Chorus]
God, forgive me, I know I ain’t the best
Walking through storms, feeling cursed, feeling blessed
Trying to take karma into my own hands, yeah
A Robin Hood with bloodstained plans
Save some, ruin some, it’s a twisted game
Just trying to play my part, forget the shame
Can you forgive a troubled soul?
A criminal with a heart, trying to be whole

[Verse 2]
Help me see the good I’ve done, the lives I’ve touched
Even when I messed up so much
I helped some rise from darkness, kept others from falling
A shadow in the night, but still calling

[Pre-Chorus]
They hurt me, they’ve thrown stones at my name
But I stand here, still fighting the blame
I know I’ve caused some pain, yeah
But I’ve also given hope again

(Solo)

[Chorus]
God, forgive me, I know I ain’t the best
Walking through storms, feeling cursed, feeling blessed
Trying to take karma into my own hands, yeah
A Robin Hood with bloodstained plans
Save some, ruin some, it’s a twisted game
Just trying to play my part, forget the shame
Can you forgive a troubled soul?
A criminal with a heart, trying to be whole

[Outro]
So here I am, praying for some mercy
Seeking redemption, trying to be worthy
Forgive me, Lord, for all I’ve been through
Just a flawed soul, reaching out to you

(Solo)
