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
