[Verse 1] (soft, close-mic) Been standing at this same old fork for years now Watching the sign posts fade in the rain Used to know which way was up, which way was down now Now I can't tell the truth from the pain [Verse 2] Turn on the news and it's one more reason Turn off the news and the silence just shouts World keeps handing out its own kind of treason Feeds every question, feeds every doubt [Pre-Chorus] I ain't asking for a sign in the sky I ain't asking to be told I'm right Just asking if there's something left to hold onto Some kind of light [Chorus] (building, choir enters) I ain't no saint, Lord knows I'm a sinner Trying to do right with these two broken hands Still get up, still keep swinging, still a beginner (choir: still swinging!) At loving good in a world I don't understand Maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm just a beggar Hoping if there's something, someday I'll find it again (choir: someday!) [Verse 3] (pulled back down, intimate again) I've prayed in the dark when nobody's listening Talked to a ceiling and called it a prayer Some nights the questions just keep on digging up Every old wound I thought wasn't there [Bridge] (organ swells, building) Maybe faith ain't a mountain you climb Maybe it's just the walking Maybe it's staying when you want to run Maybe it's still talking To something you can't see or prove Just hoping it hears you too [Pre-Chorus] (choir humming underneath) I ain't asking for a sign in the sky I ain't asking to be told I'm right Just asking if there's something left to hold onto Some kind of light [Final Chorus] (full belt, full choir, horns) I ain't no saint, Lord knows I'm a sinner Trying to do right with these two broken hands (choir: broken hands!) Still get up, still keep swinging, still a beginner At loving good in a world I don't understand (choir: don't understand!) Maybe I'm lost, maybe I'm just a beggar Hoping if there's something, someday I'll find it again [Outro] (ad-libbed, testifying, choir swelling and fading) So I'll keep standing at this crossroads a while longer Won't pretend that I've got it figured out Just a sinner trying to get a little stronger Hoping something's out there, hoping it hears me now (choir: hear him now!) I ain't no saint, Lord knows I'm a sinner Hoping it hears me now (ad-lib, riffing) Oh hear me now I'm still walkin', still believin' Hoping it hears me...
