[Intro: Sparse acoustic guitar, contemplative tempo] - Chord Progression: Em - C - G - D [Verse A1: Weathered male vocal, reflective and honest] Em C My faith's been paper thin for longer than I'd like to say G D I fold it up and carry it, afraid it'll blow away Em C But paper thin ain't nothing, paper thin can still hold light Em D Even thin things cast a shadow when they're held up right [Verse A2: Vocal steadier, more open] Em C I've prayed in gas stations, I've prayed in hospital halls G D I've prayed the kind of prayers that don't need churches, don't need walls Em C Maybe faith was never supposed to be a sturdy thing Em D Maybe it's just showing up broken and still choosing to sing [Bridge B: Soulful female guest vocal enters, warm harmony rising] C G So I'll take the paper thin and I'll hold it like it's gold Am D I'll take whatever faith I've got and I won't let it go cold C G It's not about the sturdiness, it's not about the proof Am D It's about showing up again beneath this borrowed roof [Verse A3: Full voice, harmony continuing beneath, warm and resolved] Em C My faith's still paper thin, but paper thin can learn to grow G D Every fold I've carried through has taught me what I know Em C So I'll keep it in my pocket and I'll take it where I go Em D Paper thin faith is still faith, and that's enough to hold [Outro: Guitar fades gently, guest vocal hums a final phrase, quiet applause] - Chord Progression: Em - G - Em [End]
