  • Dear god, I'm trying hard to reach you
    Dear god, I see your face in all I do
    Sometimes it's so hard to believe in
    Good god I know you have your reasons

    Dear god I see you move the mountains
    Dear god I see you moving trees
    Sometimes it's nothing to believe in
    Sometimes it's everything I see

    Well I've been thinking about,
    And I've been breaking it down without an answer
    I know I'm thinking aloud but if your loves
    Still around why do we suffer?
    Why do we suffer?

    Dear god, I wish that I could touch you
    How strange sometimes I feel I almost do
    And then I'm back behind the glass again
    Oh god what keeps you out it keeps me in

    Well I've been thinking about,
    And I've been breaking down without an answer
    I know I'm thinking aloud but if your loves
    Still around why do we suffer?
    Why do we suffer? Writer/s: Chad Everett Gilbert, Elgin Nathaniel James

  • J.d. Earley from St. Petersburg Fl What kind of bass did Oberst play on "Dear God", that night, live with the Roots?
  • Mark B. Stoned from Desperate Hot Springs, CaWow, this song was definitely a surprise. Can anyone tell me who sings the falsetto part during the chorus?
