Midge Ure - Dear God (1988)

In stereo: musicvideo of Dear God by Midge Ure, released in 1988. From the album "Answers to nothing".

Dear God, is there somebody out there?
Is there someone to hear my prayer?
I'm a simple man with simple words to say
Is there some point in asking?
Asking for more only got us where we are today
Lost and alone and afraid
Give me, love for the lonely
Give me, food for the hungry
Give me, peace in a restless world
Give me, hope for the children
Give me, a worldwide religion
Give me, peace in a restless world
Dear God, can you hear me crying?
A whole world crying
Looking for something to say
We had it all and we threw it all away
Is there somebody watching
Somebody watching over the mess that we've made
We're lost and alone and afraid
Give me, love for the lonely
Give me, food for the hungry
Give me, peace in a restless world
Give me, hope for the children
Give me, a worldwide religion
Give me, peace in a restless world
And we need to know there's something good
Though all our years of solitude go on and on and on...
Give me, love for the lonely
Give me, food for the hungry
Give me, peace in a restless world
Give me, hope for the children
Give me, a worldwide religion
Give me, peace in a restless world
Dear god, is there somebody out there,
Is there someone to hear my prayer

i'm a simple man with simple words to say as well... if only I had the bright blue voice of Mr. Ure. Magical.

One of Scotland's most treasured ambassadors!

We are so proud of him both for his superb musical talent and his undying efforts with Live Aid and associated charities.

Love and peace forever!!

I wish Jars of Clay should sang this inspirational song and make this a remake. ;)

Keep in mind the "a worldwide religion" part is about wanting people not to fight about religious differences.

I had Ultravox playing in my car on the way to work today and Hymn came on. I forgot how good Midge Ure is...This song seals the deal! I just bought "Answers to nothing" on Amazon. Amazing!

the year this song came out and the movie I myself was going thru a very difficult time in my life, the song help me refocus my direction in life. Peacecore, the U/N and I do what I can for the planet. It is trully an amazing song from the heart. I was 28, I'm now over 50 something, still working on solutions to some of these questions....DON'T GIVE UP

i'm not sure that guitar would make the sound in that solo...but i could be wrong...it doesn't sound like a hollow-body...

in 1989, i was 13 years old here in Brazil, I watched a novel called "O salvador da pátria" , and this song " Dear god" was one of the musical themes. I miss this time!
