[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)
