Jennifer Knapp - Believe Lyrics

What do you believe?

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Living lavish like the Biltmore
What the blood spilt for
A ship in harbor is safe
But that ain't what it's built for
Do all I can to help you get more

If you forgive my slight intrusion
I see this night is confusing
A constant fight with illusions
Shed a light on conclusions

What you desire is a way out
Day in and day out
Do not disturb signs so I'll stay out
How long will you let the torture grasp you?

I see spirits manifesting
Blocking blessings with the questions
That you hear me ask you
Keep it up, so much will pass you

You can make it on a prayer
Yeah, that's true
But barely getting by when you can do more
Why would you want to?

Forgetting that the wood's dry
And the fire's on you
Life's a hassle
Be prepared to wrestle

It can be rough
But it don't have to
You can make it full of smiles
Something to laugh to

So pick and chose my message thick
So squeeze and watch it ooze
Make it a game to where your fears lose
Let's go

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

There's a way that seems right
In the heart of a man
And many angels of light
In disguise destroying man

So most chose to refuse
The absolute truth
Replace it with lies
Use ignorance as excuse

It's hard to conceive
What the mind can't comprehend
And harder to believe
What the eyes can't understand

We look to theory
Philosophies and thought
For a sure foundation
In a belief we once sought

While the shadow of truth
Cast an image so clear
The closer it gets
We reject it out of fear

If we really wanted truth
We would give our lives for it
Walk in its direction of light
For God's glory

The saga continues
'Cause most hearts are deceived
If we really wanted truth
We would live and believe

So the saga continues
'Cause most hearts are deceived
If we really wanted truth
We would live and believe in it

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth

Everybody needs something as proof
Something in hand to know the truth
Everybody needs something to see
Something to feel and something to be
