[Verse 1]
I wake up bold, then I cave by noon
One minute I’m sure, next minute I’m doomed
I wear my praise like a ring on my hand
Then fear comes back and I don’t understand
I say “I trust,” but my throat goes dry
Like the roof of my mouth got a question why
You told me “lean,” so I lean, then slip
Still reaching for the edge with a trembling grip
[Pre-Chorus]
If faith is a door, why’s it locked so tight?
If grace is near, why do I fight all night?
I’m on my knees, still my mind won’t stay
Tell me how to believe when belief feels away
[Chorus]
How do we get there? (how do we get there?)
Pure belief, pure belief
One minute I’m certain
Next minute I’m weak
How do we get there? (how do we get there?)
Pure belief, pure belief
If we have to have faith
Why does it feel so steep?
[Verse 2]
My mother said pray when the ceiling falls
So I prayed in the dark with the bathroom walls
I counted my breath like beads in a chain
But doubt came loud like summer rain
I seen miracles dressed in ordinary skin
I seen doors open, then close again
So I’m not ashamed of the split in me
I’m just trying to find what the split could mean
[Pre-Chorus]
If faith is a fire, why does it flicker?
Why does my heart feel small, not bigger?
I want that calm, I want that stay
Tell me how to believe when belief feels away
[Chorus]
How do we get there? (how do we get there?)
Pure belief, pure belief
One minute I’m certain
Next minute I’m weak
How do we get there? (how do we get there?)
Pure belief, pure belief
If we have to have faith
Why does it feel so steep?
[Bridge]
I don’t need perfect
I need a hand
I need a place where the questions stand
If doubt is a wave, let it hit, let it pass
Let me still be held when my grip doesn’t last
I’m talking to Heaven with a cracked-open chest
Saying “I’m trying, I’m trying,” and that is my best
[Chorus]
How do we get there? (how do we get there?)
Pure belief, pure belief
One minute I’m certain
Next minute I’m weak
How do we get there? (how do we get there?)
Pure belief, pure belief
If we have to have faith
Why does it feel so steep?
