[Intro] (Soft organ swell transforming into a crisp R&B beat) (Yeah...) (I see you over there) (Fixing your robe... hiding your heart) Listen. [Verse 1] Sunday morning light, stained glass on the floor You walked in heavy when you opened the door The suit fits perfect, the tie is tight But I know you didn’t sleep a wink last night You’re shaking hands, you’re kissing babies While your mind is full of "ifs" and "maybes" You’re the shepherd leading everyone through But tell me, Maurice, who’s leading you? [Pre-Chorus] (You hold the mic) But I hold the truth (Healing the elders) And saving the youth But the pressure is rising, I check the chart I see the fluttering inside your heart [Chorus] I know you got heart problems (I got the cure) You need a love that is steady and pure Don't gotta sit alone in the front row I'm right here, baby, let the feelings show We're in the same church, same struggle too Make a little room in the same pew (Yeah, in the same pew) [Post-Chorus: Hook] [Catchy, Rhythmic, Staccato] So slide over, let me heal the ache Slide over, for heaven’s sake I’m the calm to your stress The "Amen" to your bless Same pew, same view, same God, same You [Verse 2] You diagnose the spirit, I check the pulse No need for secrets, no need for anything else I’m not a fan, I’m not in the crowd I’m the quiet peace when the world gets loud You treat the symptoms, but ignore the cause Let’s take a minute, baby, press pause I’m certified to handle the care Just look to your left, I’m already there [Chorus] I know you got heart problems (I got the cure) You need a love that is steady and pure Don't gotta sit alone in the front row I'm right here, baby, let the feelings show We're in the same church, same struggle too Make a little room in the same pew [Verse 3] [Slightly stripped back beat, intimate vocals] They call you Reverend, but I call you by name Without the title, tell me, is it the same? You feed the sheep, but you're starving inside Nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide I checked the stats, the prognosis is clear The only medication that you need is here So drop the facade, let the service be done The healing starts now, we've only begun [Bridge] [Gospel Choir Swells / Soulful High Note] They see the Pastor, I see the Man! They see the Glory, I understand the Plan! Let me be your sanctuary, let me be your rest Put your heavy head right here on my chest (Breathe in... Breathe out...) Let the heart problem work itself out! [Guitar Solo / R&B Ad-libs] (Work it out, Jesus) (Slide over, slide over!) [Chorus] [Full Energy / Belting] I know you got heart problems (I got the cure) You need a love that is steady and pure Don't gotta sit alone in the front row I'm right here, baby, let the feelings show We're in the same church, same struggle too Make a little room in the same pew [Post-Chorus: Outro Hook] [Fade out with Finger Snaps] Slide over. (Just a little bit) Slide over. (Let me in) Same pew. Same view. Same God. Same You. (End)
