[Verse 1]
I went looking in the bottle
I went chasing in the dark
Asked the preachers on my TV
Still a famine in my heart
Then my grandma took my hand
Said
“Boy
That hunger’s gonna stall
When you open up those pages
’Cause the Book has said it all”
[Chorus]
The Bible’s got the answer to it all (yes, it does)
From the cradle to the grave
Great and small (mm-hmm)
Every tear
Every trial
Every rise
Every fall
Oh
The Bible’s got the answer to it all (to it all)
[Verse 2]
Found a circle at the altar
All those voices
Worn and wise
Every scar became a story
Every story testified
Now I’m standing in that number
Shouting truth from wall to wall
If you’re broken
If you’re wandering
Turn where mercy wrote it all
[Chorus]
The Bible’s got the answer to it all (come and read)
From the cradle to the grave
Great and small
Every tear
Every trial
Every rise
Every fall
Oh
The Bible’s got the answer to it all (to it all)
[Bridge]
When you’re tired of all the talking
And the world sounds like a lie
There’s a red-letter river
Flowing through those pages dry
[Chorus]
The Bible’s got the answer to it all (yes, it does)
From the cradle to the grave
Great and small
Every tear
Every trial
Every rise
Every fall
Oh
The Bible’s got the answer
The Bible’s got the answer
The Bible’s got the answer to it all
