“OTHERWISE”
INTRO
Birds don’t trip about the freefall
They just ride wind like it’s protocol
Moon don’t miss when the night calls
Whole sky locked in, no pause
⸻
VERSE 1
Lilies in the field got zero doubt
Bloom full bright when the rain tap out
Grass turn green, no cheat code found
Still somehow know what it’s about
Meanwhile we scroll till the soul burned out
World too loud, got the chest weighed down
Everybody online screaming “prove your worth”
Whole time Heaven been saying it first
Sun still rise on a bad day too
Ocean still move when the sky goes blue-gray
Trees still sway when the storm blow through
Like creation know something we don’t do
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
Look around
Every single thing alive
Move like it already knows
It belongs here
⸻
CHORUS
So why we stressing?
Why we spiraling?
Whole world glowing with design in it
Stars don’t wonder if they burning bright enough
Birds don’t panic when the wind get tough
If God hold all this together
Why would He forget us?
Whole sky screaming
“You were made on purpose”
⸻
POST-CHORUS
Ooooo
Maybe the proof is everywhere
Ooooo
Maybe we always been cared for
⸻
VERSE 2
Wildflowers pushing through the concrete cracks
No applause but they still come back
River don’t fight where it’s flowing at
It just move with the hand that’s guiding that
And maybe faith ain’t big stage lights
Maybe faith look like sleep at night
Maybe peace ain’t having control
Maybe peace is finally letting go
Phone keep buzzing
Fear keep selling
Everybody trying to optimize heaven
But the birds outside still sound like worship
And honestly… maybe that’s the sermon
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
Look around
Every single thing alive
Move like it already knows
It belongs here
⸻
CHORUS
So why we stressing?
Why we spiraling?
Whole world glowing with design in it
Stars don’t wonder if they burning bright enough
Birds don’t panic when the wind get tough
If God hold all this together
Why would He forget us?
Whole sky screaming
“You were made on purpose”
⸻
BRIDGE
No missed sunsets
No broken seasons
No empty galaxies spinning for no reason
Every wave
Every leaf
Every heartbeat got meaning
So maybe you do too
⸻
FINAL CHORUS
Why we stressing?
Why we spiraling?
Whole world glowing with design in it
Stars don’t wonder if they burning bright enough
Birds don’t panic when the wind get tough
If God hold all this together
Why would He forget us?
Whole sky screaming
“You were made on purpose”
