[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh
So many people pray but don't have faith
Trusting is something that's kind of hard
Especially these days
Throwing pennies in the well
Hoping the wish will work out
Only thing walking these streets is doubt

[Chorus]
But oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I wanna believe in fairy tales, wishing wells and shaman who really heal
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I wanna see progress
I wanna see God in us
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I wanna believe in fairy tales, wishing wells and shaman who really heal

[Verse 2]
I wanna see my father without cancer, that's all I pray
I want a Grammy without a label, it's possible these days
I want to walk the streets, and be black and proud
I want me and my momma to just work shit out

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I wanna believe in fairy tales, wishing wells and shaman who really heal
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
I wanna see progress
I wanna see God in us
