Grits and Jennifer Knapp...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

livin lavish like the biltmore
what the blood spilt for
a ship in harbor safe
but that aint what its built for
do all i can to help you get more
if you forgive my slight intrusion
i see this night is confusin
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 manifestin
blockin blessings with the questions
that you hear me ask you
keep it up so muchwill 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
forgettin’ that the wood’s dry and the fires on you
lifes a hastle
be prepared to rastle
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
lets go

theres 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 absolut truth
replace it with lies
use ignorance as an excuse
it’s hard to conceive
what the mind can’t comprehend
and harder to believe
what the eyes cant understand
we look to theory philosophy 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 gods glory
so the saga continues
cause most hearts are deceived
if we really wanted truth
we would live and believe
still the saga continues
cause most hearts are deceived
if we really wanted truth
we would live and believe in it
