Eyes Wide Open
They try to silence my voice
You try to hold me down
But I'm still screaming out
I'm still screaming out
You try to silence my voice
You try to hold me down
But I'm still screaming out
You better pray
They call me fanatic
'Cause I can stand on my own
I speak revivalist
I got this fire shut up in my bones
They call me fanatic
And all the church doors, they stay closed because I testify
They preach sermons but still don't know
The fanatical forerunner
I prepare the way
I speak a message of truth
Take heed, I mean what I say
You better pray
You better pray
So hide yourself in the darkness
Keep your prayers to yourselves
'Cause any fool can pray just to get recognized by someone else
The secret life of fanatics
They can stand on their own
Because they recognize the church doors stay closed
They call me fanatic
'Cause I can stand on my own
I speak revivalist
I got this fire shut up in my bones
We pray with our eyes open to see the victims of injustice
I'm not just one man, all heaven stands with me
I've got a message for the world, "It's not just us"
You better pray
You better pray
You better pray
You better pray
You try to hold me down
But I'm still screaming out
I'm still screaming out
You try to silence my voice
You try to hold me down
But I'm still screaming out
You better pray
They call me fanatic
'Cause I can stand on my own
I speak revivalist
I got this fire shut up in my bones
They call me fanatic
And all the church doors, they stay closed because I testify
They preach sermons but still don't know
The fanatical forerunner
I prepare the way
I speak a message of truth
Take heed, I mean what I say
You better pray
You better pray
So hide yourself in the darkness
Keep your prayers to yourselves
'Cause any fool can pray just to get recognized by someone else
The secret life of fanatics
They can stand on their own
Because they recognize the church doors stay closed
They call me fanatic
'Cause I can stand on my own
I speak revivalist
I got this fire shut up in my bones
We pray with our eyes open to see the victims of injustice
I'm not just one man, all heaven stands with me
I've got a message for the world, "It's not just us"
You better pray
You better pray
You better pray
You better pray
