This is translation I hve done and uploaded at Pinkies World... feel free to comment or edit....
This is track #3 from the black tangerine album... a song inspired by 911.... Its all about love... There seems to be a lot of despair... questioning God when things go wrong... not unexpected, as that is how many of us felt too.
It's not uncommon for people to question God when things go wrong... I recommend a read of (1) the book of Job in the bible and (2) Disappointment with God by Philip Yancey
Dear God
Just watched the 6.30 news The tragedy is being repeated A mother holding her son’s photo Hoping to see him again
Can’t bear to see what’s on the screen I turned away and started to weep Was that judgment or was it a testing How much more heartaches do we have to bear
Love….. Love ... Love has been forgotten by the world Nobody believes, nobody believes in love anymore Truth and justice are like jokes I no longer want to live in such a city Conversations are centered on violence and bloodshed Lots of gossiping but no solution All planning to escape, everyone is playing a game No one cares if you don’t have money I am angry, but I have to keep my emotion in check, So much so that I seem to have grown numb Using one’s life as a chip How much longer must this madness go on
Love has lost its meaning in this world Nobody cares, nobody cares if there is no love It makes me want to swear It’s not my fault, I am not to blame
Dear God, why do you close your eyes to all these Why don’t you come up with answers Pretending not to see, just pretending not seeing Tell me the way to restore love in this world Since there is no way that I can leave this dreadful world This dreadful place, is still my home
Just received news from a faraway place Seems that the nightmare has not ended Please give me strength, so I can continue to live Dear God, where are you?
