Faith

Is it reality or metaphor?
I asked so many times before
Blessings I have plenty
So what am I even doubting for?
Stained glass only shows the picture when it's light out
But what's gon' be the bigger picture when it's truly lights out?
Is it love or is it fear?
Happiness or tears?
The concept of infinity has bogged down me for years
Devotion is the ticket, I can't afford the ride
Cause it seems to me the need for worship's only hidden pride
But what do I know at the end of the day
I only grew from the shame
I saw the words meant for change
Were just excuses to hate
With defense that it's righteousness
Not printed games of telephone
Love can work in magnitude
Hatred speaks in megaphone
Man it's so confusing
Blessed to see the higher power
Now I'm losing my religion
Took some time, and I'm making decisions
I know nothing's set in stone
I'll follow my definition
Hold up

Show yourself and be known
Who let you into my home?
With the notion of hope
Faith came, now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
Show yourself and be known
Who let you into my home?
With the notion of hope
Faith came, now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now it's gone

Eating well, speaking real
But lately, I ain't been sleeping well
I just got out of class, feeling strange, so I'm wary
Got a text from my dad, an obituary
I sat in silence, can't believe my reaction
Read the headline again, I can't believe that it happened
I hear the words that you'd say, but I'm losing my faith
You gave your life to God and then he took it away!
But if I don't believe, was your job all for nothing?
No, you helped shape us to the people we're becoming
With the lessons that you taught us and the memories, it's something
That not everybody has, and for that, we're very lucky
I hope you knew how much we loved you
I hope your wife knows the people that you've touched, Davis got you on his chest!
Now there's no one above you
Flying higher than the butterflies and such, nothing less, yeah

Show yourself and be known
I think it's time to come home
With the notion of hope
I prayed, but you're gone
You're still gone
You're still gone
Show yourself and be known
I think it's time to come home
With the notion of hope
I prayed, but you're gone
You're still gone
You're still gone
