Lord, If You Are Out There by Steve Flemming

“Lord, If You Are Out There” is a thoughtful and emotional song about searching for hope, compassion, and meaning in a troubled world. Through a simple man’s honest questions, the song reflects on war, fear, selfishness, and the challenges of staying human in difficult times. It is a sincere plea for wisdom, kindness, and understanding — a reminder that even when the world feels lost, empathy and love can still guide us toward a better path.

Written and Produced by Steve Flemming Lord, If You Are Out There 3/21/19 7/8/26 [INSTRUMENTAL] Lord, if you are out there; will you ever hear my plea? I’m just a simple man; with a touch of empathy I woke up to the world today; what a lonely, frightened place It’s hard for me to really see; this empty human race [INSTRUMENTAL] Money spent on weapons; money spent on fear How could all this madness; be happening right here? I grew up on believing; my country and my land But now I slouch my shoulders and shake my weary head I do not have the answers; I do not have a clue But if you see it clearly; can you help me make it through? My father taught me kindness; my mother how to share Still all I see is blindness; year after year Lord, if you are out there; will you ever hear my plea? I’m just a common man; with a dose of empathy I woke up to the world today; what a lonely, frightened place It’s hard for me to really see; this crazy human race [INSTRUMENTAL] Somewhere in the valley; I’ll search to find some hope But the caves are filled with darkness; telling me not to go I am not a coward; I will do the best I can Perhaps it’s time we redefine; what it means to be human? Will we stand for justice; will we stand for love? Will we stand for others; who are left out in the mud? I never asked for handouts; or took the easy road But if you’re really here; please show us what you know [INSTRUMENTAL] Lord, if you are out there; will you ever hear my plea? I’m just a worried man; with a drop of empathy I woke up to the world today; what a lonely, frightened place It’s hard for me to really see; this wild human race [INSTRUMENTAL] [BRIDGE] I’m tired of false persuasions; I’m sick of selfish crimes But the worst are the distractions; that steal our precious time Will we reach a moment; where the truth will set us free? Lead us with more wisdom; that can shift our destiny Lord, if you are out there; will you ever hear my plea? I’m just an honest man; with so much empathy I woke up to the world today; what a lonely, frightened place It’s hard for me to really see; my loving human race [INSTRUMENTAL] Steve Flemming Closing words by Steve: If these songs have meant something to you, would you consider helping me keep this musical journey going with a small donation?
