Note To God
Charice(채리스) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak what's in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away
For love to overflow

If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end and for peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say

I'd say give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find a way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
I'd say, I'd say

I'd say give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you

Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
'Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

No, no
We can't do it on our own!
So, so

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love 'cause love is overdue
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you

Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
'Cause it seems like so much is going wrong
On this road we're on

No, no
We can't do it on our own!
So, so

Can you imagine all the emotional things she was going through at that time? She was at the peak of her international career. She was making a lot of money and TV appearances here and there with the A lists personalties. At the same time, she was also struggling with personal identity. I am happy if she is happy. Not everyone is brave to make such hard decision especially with the critiques and consequences. Charice is a legend and she will forever be one those "great singers" of all time.

That's what I always say as well. She gave up fame and fortune and money to be who she is. This is not a coincidence. She knew she could help more people by her example than by her singing.

yolanda mabanga

Agreed 🙌🏾
