Largely, yes, minimal. But there are a few zingers*

I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future, even if you fail*

[Chorus]
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream

[Verse 2]
I have a dream, a fantasy
To help me through reality
And my destination makes it worth the while*
Pushing through the darkness; still another mile*

[Chorus]
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
You might also like

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I have a dream, a song to sing
To help me cope with anything
If you see the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail*

[Chorus]
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
I'll cross the stream
I have a dream
Yes the reference to angels is a minimal indication of possible belief in God.

What about "The Long and Winding Road" sung by Paul on his missionary journeys?

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road

You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back

To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door

Lead me to your door
Maybe as he (not McCartney) was praying for God to make the way for him to visit Rome?

Revolution?

You say you want a Revolution
Well, you know, We all wanna change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know, We all wanna change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know, We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know, We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know, We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know, You'd better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be alright

Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way, ,
You left me standing here, ,
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
I feel the Lord's precept of ''I will not leave you as orphans'' is a powerful one that transcends all class.
What about "The Long and Winding Road" sung by Paul on his missionary journeys?
Without the outcome of,
Lead me to your door
Though the appeal remained to the end, I can't say amen to a journey that only came to be known as one who abides alone.
