Faith

Verse 1

You sat in a classroom, hands on the desk

Teacher said “this is the truth,” so we wrote down the rest

Dates on the board, wars and kings

Stories from voices we’ve never seen

Ink on a page from a thousand years ago

We believe every word like we somehow know

No proof, no witness, just what they tell

Still we defend it like a sacred spell

Pre-Chorus

Funny how the world works out that way

Trust in the past but doubt today

Chorus

You’ll put faith in teachers teaching history

Faith in science and a long dead mystery

Faith in the words of someone in a grave

But you won’t put faith in the one who can save

You’ll believe what you read, what they say, what they sell

Every theory, every story they tell

But when hope knocks loud at your door one night

You turn away and say it isn’t real life

Verse 2

They tell you the stars were born in flame

And we memorize every cosmic name

Galaxies spinning a billion years old

Equations we trust though we barely know

I’m not saying knowledge ain’t a light

But funny how we pick what feels right

A lab coat speaks and we never resist

But truth in a whisper somehow gets dismissed

Pre-Chorus

You trust every mind that came before

But close your heart to something more

Chorus

You’ll put faith in teachers teaching history

Faith in science and a long dead mystery

Faith in the words of someone in a grave

But you won’t put faith in the one who can save

You’ll believe every map of yesterday

Every fossil and every theory they say

But when a hand reaches down through the dark

You call it fake and turn your heart

Bridge

What if the story was written wrong

What if the truth was here all along

What if the voices we trust the most

Are just echoes of another ghost

We build our beliefs like a tower of sand

Trusting the words of an unseen hand

But the one voice calling through the storm

Gets labeled a myth, a tale, a form

Breakdown

Faith in the past

Faith in the page

Faith in the dust of another age

Faith in the mind

Faith in the scheme

Faith in a scientist’s distant dream

But faith in a savior?

Faith in a light?

That’s where the world draws the line tonight

Final Chorus

You’ll put faith in teachers teaching history

Faith in science and a long dead mystery

Faith in the bones of someone long gone

But doubt the truth that’s been here all along

You’ll trust every scholar, every dusty page

Every whisper from another age

But the one who could pull you out of the grave

You say is fake…

Even if He came to save

Outro

So we walk through life with our faith misplaced

Trusting the ink but ignoring the grace

Believing the past with unshaken sight

But doubting the voice

That could bring us life
