Dear World
David Gates
All I want's a better life
Than I have known 'til now
All I need's to get ahead
If only I knew how
What I have is a dream or two
And the hope that they might come true
But am I waitin' hopelessly
That's why I've turned to you...and
Dear world, what are my chances, oh tell me
Tell me what my chances are
Should I keep on tryin'
And hear me, there's nobody else that can hear me
So won't you please answer my prayer
Won't somebody care...
Don't want to hide when someone's comin'
Afraid they might do me harm
