They say it’s just a story, something a man wrote down,
Words on a paper, passed through time and towns,
But when I read those pages, I feel a fire in my soul,
Something deeper moves inside, something makes me whole.
(Pre-Chorus)
You can call it myth, you can call it fate,
But I’ve seen the light, I can’t debate,
When I was broken, lost and blind,
That truth was there, it changed my mind.
(Chorus)
I believe in something a man wrote,
A love so strong it keeps me afloat,
Some say there’s no God, some say there’s proof,
But I’ve felt His presence, I’ve seen His truth.
You can doubt it, mock it, say it’s all fake,
But sooner or later, your soul will awake,
‘Cause I believe — oh, I believe,
In something a man wrote.
(Verse 2)
They say “show me signs,” they say “prove He’s real,”
But faith ain’t sight, it’s something you feel,
It’s the calm in storms, the peace in pain,
The whisper of grace when you’re chained in shame.
(Pre-Chorus)
You can chase the world, its silver and gold,
But what’s it worth when your heart grows cold?
When the final breath is all you’ve got,
You’ll wonder then what faith forgot.
(Chorus)
I believe in something a man wrote,
A love so strong it keeps me afloat,
Some say there’s no God, some say there’s proof,
But I’ve felt His presence, I’ve seen His truth.
You can doubt it, mock it, say it’s all fake,
But sooner or later, your soul will awake,
‘Cause I believe — oh, I believe,
In something a man wrote.
(Bridge)
Call it ancient, call it old,
But the story still saves souls,
The words still heal, the light still shines,
Through every age, through all of time.
(Final Chorus)
I believe in something a man wrote,
It’s more than ink, it’s more than hope,
It’s the voice of God through human hands,
The truth that time can’t erase or bend.
So say what you will, take what you please,
But my heart knows what my eyes can’t see,
Yeah, I believe — oh, I believe,
In something a man wrote.
(Outro)
And when my time on Earth is through,
I’ll stand before the One I knew,
The words I read will come to life,
No more pain, no more strife.
You can laugh, you can say I’m wrong,
But faith’s been my anchor all along,
So I’ll hold that book close to my heart,
‘Cause that’s where the truth starts.
Yeah… I believe,
In something a man wrote.
Forever I believe.
