《hey god》的詞曲作者是艾薇兒·拉維妮 (Avril Lavigne)。歌詞內容主要關於一個人向神明祈求，希望自己能夠克服一切困難，讓生活過得更好。以下是歌詞：
Hey God,
I'm standing on the edge,
Wondering if you can hear me,
And I'm asking for help,
I'm lost and I'm scared,
But I don't want to be here,
So I'm reaching out to you.
Hey God,
I need a little help,
I'm trying to make sense of it all,
And I'm asking for hope,
I'm feeling so alone,
But I don't want to be this way.
So here I am,
Trying to find my way,
Trying to make it through the rain,
And I'm asking for a sign,
To guide me back to the light.
Hey God,
You know my name,
You know my pain,
So why can't I feel your embrace?
I need you to hold me,
I need you to save me,
From this endless cycle of pain.
So here I am,
Trying to find my way,
Trying to make it through the rain,
And I need your comfort,
I need your understanding,
When no one else can understand.
Chorus:
So Hey God, won't you help me?
Can you hear me calling out?
Am I alone in this storm?
Is there hope for me yet?
Hey God.
Is there a way out of here?
Can you take this heavy load?
Will you guide me through the dark?
Hey God.
Will you hear me?
Will you save me?
Will you take me home?
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh God.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh!
Verse 2:
So here I am again,
Trying to find my way,
Trying to make sense of it all,
Is there hope for me yet?
Here I am... Hey God... （重複 Chorus 和 Verse 的內容，直至結束）
