Verse 1
Yesterday when I was out at the pub
I met Jesus
He was sitting there having a beer all by himself
I gathered my courage and I took a
Deep breath and
Walked up and said: 'I need help'
Prechorus 1
I said: 'Lord, can you tell God?
That I have a question that's pretty urgent
I've tried calling, but I get no answer
Don't know if he hears, so
Chorus 1
Can you tell God I need some faith in the future?
Something to give my poor heart some peace and quiet
Sorry if I'm bothering you, but the world is completely f*cked
I'll buy you a beer if
You can tell God that we just need a little hope
A little less war and famine and poverty and hate and stuff
Why are we here if life is just one big misery?
Can you tell God this?
Verse 2
I had a glass and calmed myself down
So please I'm begging you
I'm starting to get pretty desperate
Prechorus 2
I've tried calling, but I get no answer
Don't know if he hears, so
Chorus 2
Can you tell God I need some faith in the future?
Something to give my poor heart some peace and quiet
Sorry if I'm bothering you, but the world is completely f*cked
I'll buy you a beer if
You can tell God that we just need a little hope
A little less war and famine and poverty and hate and stuff
Why are we here if life is just one big misery?
Can you tell God this?
Bridge
Can you tell him he has to do something before it's too late?
Can you tell him that?
And can you tell him he should show a little more
If he actually exists? 'Cause I can doubt it, as you know
The world is so crazy now, so please give me something concrete
Can you tell him that?
Outro
Can you tell him he has to do something before it's too late?
Can you tell him that?

framtidstrofaith in the future / optimism

Framtidstro is a beautiful compound word in Swedish, literally meaning "future-faith". It encapsulates the idea of having hope and belief in what's to come, even when things are difficult.

In this song, Miss Li's character, speaking to Jesus, expresses a desperate need for framtidstro in a world she perceives as "completely screwed up" (helt jäkla körd). It's a powerful and poignant word that perfectly captures the song's central theme of seeking hope and reassurance in uncertain times, making it both memorable and highly relevant.

Ever felt so overwhelmed by the world that you wished you could just send a direct message to God? In her song "Hälsa Gud" (which means "Say Hi to God"), Swedish artist Miss Li imagines doing just that, but in a very unusual way. The story begins when the singer spots Jesus sitting alone in a pub, having a beer. Seeing this as a golden opportunity, she decides to ask him for a huge favor: to pass along a message to God, since her own calls have gone unanswered.

This isn't just a simple hello. It's a desperate and heartfelt plea from someone who feels lost and hopeless. She asks Jesus to tell God that the world is a mess and that people desperately need a little hope, peace, and less suffering. The song perfectly captures that feeling of wanting a sign, anything, to believe in when everything seems to be going wrong. It's a modern, relatable prayer that asks the big questions about life, faith, and why we're here.
