[Intro – soft, dramatic piano]
(Oh… oh…)
Searching for something I can feel…
Are You there?
[Verse]
Every road I ran just brought me back again
Every answer faded in the end
Tried to fill the silence, tried to numb the noise
But nothing ever healed me like Your voice
[Pre-Chorus – build]
All these voices saying I don’t need You
But something deep inside is breaking through…
[Chorus – BIG, upbeat]
Tell me God, is it really real? (Really Real!)
Is it true You’re changing how I feel? (Really real)
I’ve been running, I’ve been fighting all my will (really real)
Do I need You more than all the pills?
Tell me God, is it really real? (Is it real?)
Is this love that’s stronger than my fear?
If You’re calling, I am trying to be still…
Is it You? Is it You? Is it real?
(Ad lib: …Real.)
[Post-Chorus – crowd chant]
Adonai! Adonai! Adonai!
[Verse – fuller band]
Every high I chased only let me down
Still Your mercy kept coming around
Now my heart is open, I don’t wanna hide
If this is life, let it come alive
[Pre-Chorus]
All my questions, all my doubt and shame
You keep calling out my name…
[Chorus – repeat]
Tell me God, is it really real? (Really Real!)
Is it true You’re changing how I feel? (Really real)
I’ve been running, I’ve been fighting all my will (really real)
Do I need You more than all the pills?
Tell me God, is it really real? (Is it real?)
Is this love that’s stronger than my fear?
If You’re calling, I am trying to be still…
Is it You? Is it You? Is it real?
[Chant Break – drums + crowd]
Adonai! Adonai! Adonai!
Adonai! Adonai! Adonai!
[Bridge – dramatic drop, then build]
If You’re real, I surrender now
Every doubt is turning into praise somehow
I don’t need another sign to see
If You’re love, then let it cover me
(Female vocal echo)
You were there… all along…
[Final Chorus – biggest]
Tell me God, is it really real? (Really Real!)
Now I feel You changing how I feel! (Really real)
I was lost but now I finally see—
You were real! You were real to me!
Tell me God, is it really real? (Is it real?)
You’re the truth that’s louder than my fear!
I don’t need what used to try to heal—
All I need, all I need… is real.
[Outro – fade]
Adonai… Adonai…
(Whisper)
You were real the whole time…
