I've been a religious person all my life, but I've always been careful to not let my religion push anyone away. And I'm still bothered by this song for that reason.

How about this?

You're counting on me, I'm counting on you.

GOD'S COUNTING ON ME
(Lorre Wyatt)

When we look and we can see things are not what they should be
You're counting on me, I'm counting on you
When we look and we see things are not what they should be
You're counting on me, I'm counting on you

Hopin' we'll all pull through, Hoping we'll all pull through,
Hopin' we'll all pull through
Me and you.

It's time to turn things around, trickle up not trickle down
You're counting on me, I'm counting on you
It's time to turn things around, trickle up not trickle down
You're counting on me, I'm counting on you
Hopin' ...& c.

And when "drill, baby, drill" leads to "spill, baby, spill"

Many wrong turns we have made; change the course, don't be afraid

Don't give up don't give in, workin' together we all can win

There's big problems to be solved, let's get everyone involved
What we do now, you and me, will affect eternity

When we sing with younger folks, we can never give up hope


ALTERNATE VERSE:
Don't give up don't give in, there's a better world to win

ALTERNATE TITLE:
God's Counting on Me, God's Counting on You
