Lyrics to Dear Teresa,
Keep your smile babe
It's doing some good
That absence deep inside you may be misunderstood
You said that Jesus has a love for me
But when you look you just don't see
How could so much faith turn into any agony
The sick are all around the world
And you are by their side
They knew nothing but hopelessness until you arrived
So you're smiles not a mask or cloak
But a shining guiding light
I think what you are going through is just your one dark night
And if you need someone to talk to
I will be right here
I promise not to use the word of God to calm your fears
My dear, oh dear
Keep on praying babe
Don't you ever quit
You're the one who always said God's love is infinite
But your faith is worn, your minds upset
The path you're on seems poorly lit
Remember what he told you on the onset of your trip
Where does one begin to find
Faith or hope in slums
You'd like to think that prayer works the same for everyone
So if you get some sleep tonight
Rest your head on that
I guess what we consider God, depends on where we're at
And I still think the world of you
In fact I love you even more
Knowing that you can relate when faith feels like a chore
Sincerely yours
