Lyrics
Chorus 1
Hello God, are you out there?
Can you hear me, are you listening anymore?
Hello God, if we're still on speaking terms
Can you help me like before?
I have questioned your existence
My resistance leaves me cold
Can you help me go the distance?
Hello God, hello, hello?
Verse 1
This old world has gone to pieces
Can we fix it, is there time?
Hate and violence just increases
We're so selfish, cruel and blind
We fight and kill each other
In your name, defending you
Do you love some more than others?
We're so lost and confused
Chorus 2
Hello God, are you out there?
Can you hear us, are you listening anymore?
Hello God, if we're still on speaking terms
Can you help us like before?
Oh, the free will you have given
We have made a mockery of
This is no way to be living
We're in great need of your love
Refrain
Hello God
Chorus 3
Hello God, can you grant us
Love enough to make amends?
Hello God, is there still a chance
That we could start again?
Hello God, we've learned our lesson
Dear God, don't let us go
More than ever
Hello God, hello, hello
Chorus 4
Hello God, we really need you
We can't make it without you
Hello God, we beseech you
In the name of all that's true
Hello God, please forgive us
For we know not what we do
Hello God, give us one more chance to prove ourselves to you
Hello, God, hello, God

Meaning & Inspiration
“Hello God” is framed as an urgent prayer from a world wounded by hatred, violence, selfishness, and confusion. The repeated greeting conveys both distance and a desire to restore communion with God. Questions about whether there is still time to change lead into confession: human beings have misused freedom, harmed one another, and even invoked God’s name while doing so. The later pleas for forgiveness, love, and another chance move the song from doubt toward repentance.
The lyric’s request for mercy resembles the confession of Psalm 51, especially its appeal for cleansing and renewal after wrongdoing. Its concern that people fight in God’s name also recalls Jesus’ command to love enemies in Matthew 5:44. The request to start again can be cautiously connected with the biblical hope of renewed life, though the song focuses primarily on collective moral responsibility. Prayer becomes the means by which despair is voiced honestly and guilt is acknowledged. The closing repetition does not resolve every question; it keeps calling on God as the source of forgiveness and the love needed for reconciliation.
