    Dear God, please send me someone who'll care; I'm tired of running, I'm sick with despair; My body is aching; it's so racked with pain. And, dear God, I pray as I run in the rain That someone will love me and give me a home, A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone. My last owner tied me all day in the yard; Sometimes with no water; and, God, that was hard! So I chewed my leash, God; and I ran away, To rummage in garbage; and live as a stray. But now, God, I'm tired; and hungry and cold And I'm, Oh, so afraid; that I'll never grow old. They've chased me with sticks, hit me with stones, While I run the streets; just looking for bones. I'm not really bad, God, please help if you can For I have become just another; "victim of man!" I'm wormy, dear God; and I'm ridden with fleas And all I ever wanted was an owner to please. If you find one for me, God, I'll try to be good; I wont chew their shoes; and I'll do as I should. I'll love them, protect them, and try to obey When they tell me to sit; to lie down or to stay! I don't think I'll make it, too long on my own Cause I'm getting so weak; and I'm, Oh, so alone. Each night, as I sleep in the bushes, I cry Cause I'm so afraid, God, that I'm gonna die. I've got so much love and devotion to give That I should be given a new chance to live. So, dear God, please, oh please, answer my prayer; And send me to somebody who will really care.
