[Intro] (Soft 808 organ echo, distant choir hum, preacher spoken over air rhythm) [Verse 1 - Gospel Soul Shuffle] (Mid-tempo Motown groove kicks in, 606 rhythm snapping) Sunday shoes and a hard wood pew Momma's hand pressed tight in mine Daddy sang like he meant every word Never doubted, not one time I believed in the way they believed Like it was carved into my bone Didn't know yet how a growing boy's eyes Could see too much of the world [Pre-Chorus] (Choir layers swell) Turned on the news and I saw the world Wasn't matching what the preacher said Started counting all the broken things That no sermon could explain [Mega Chorus - Surgically Stitched & Blended] (Full Motown worship explosion – choir + preacher + rap ad-libs) I still believe in something bigger than me I just don't know its name, don't know where it leads I ain't lost, I'm just asking why Why the good ones suffer while the wicked get by So I try to be kind, I try to do right Give what I got to whoever's in the fight I'm not a believer, not the way they were But I believe in something and that's enough for meee [Verse 2 - Gospel Soul Shuffle] (Faster flow, heavier 808 organ pulse) I watched the news show children starving Watched good people lose it all to storms Watched the wicked living high and easy While the faithful prayed for something more So I stopped asking God to explain it Started asking myself instead What kind of man do I wanna be With the days that I got left [Pre-Chorus] (Choir layers swell) I don't kneel the way my daddy knelt I don't sing the songs the same But I still feel something move through me When I ease somebody's pain [Mega Chorus - Surgically Stitched & Blended] (Full Motown worship explosion – choir + preacher + rap ad-libs) I still believe in something bigger than me I just don't know its name, don't know where it leads I ain't lost, I'm just asking why Why the good ones suffer while the wicked get by So I try to be kind, I try to do right Give what I got to whoever's in the fight I'm not a believer, not the way they were But I believe in something and that's enough for meee [Bridge] Maybe faith ain't a building Maybe it's not a name Maybe it's just showing up For somebody in the rain I don't have the answers I quit pretending that I do I just know there's something bigger And I know what I'm here to do [Mega Chorus - Surgically Stitched & Blended] (Full Motown worship explosion – choir + preacher + rap ad-libs) I still believe in something bigger than me I just don't know its name, don't know where it leads I ain't lost, I'm just asking why Why the good ones suffer while the wicked get by So I try to be kind, I try to do right Give what I got to whoever's in the fight I'm not a believer, not the way they were But I believe in something and that's enough for meee [Outro] (Soft 808 organ echo, distant choir hum, preacher spoken over air rhythm) Something's out there... I believe... Something's out there... watching over me...
