Numbers Or Faith

(album: Safetysuit - 2016)

Is anybody listening anymore?
Does someone need to knock on our door here?
And tell us what we're doing wrong
Cause every time I turn on the news I see
Somebody so alone they'll shoot somebody just to be seen
It's tearing us apart

Do you agree it's getting kinda crazy out there
Don't you think that maybe we'd do better
If we find something, something to believe in
We just need something to believe in, yeah

So why are we not talking about God
When everything around us is going to hell
Tell me, if you're so smart
Then why does everything that you do always fail, yeah
You got faith in numbers while I got faith in faith
So hear me out
When you're in the darkest of spaces
Do you want numbers or faith? Yeah
Numbers or faith, yeah

Now I'm not saying that we've all got to agree
God might be something to you and something different to me
But every time I turn on the news I see
Somebody telling us we're stupid if we choose to believe
It's tearing us apart

We're all the same, every single one of us
Black, white, gay, straight, none of us above the other
God is love, love is all we need
And we can figure out the rest if we find something to believe in

So why are we not talking about God
When everything around us is going to hell
Tell me, if you're so smart
Then why does everything that you do always fail, yeah
You got faith in numbers while I got faith in faith
So hear me out
When you're in the darkest of spaces
Do you want numbers or faith? Yeah
Numbers or faith, yeah

You can say that they're gonna hate you
Call you a hypocrite, that's how they'll paint you
I don't really care what will be, will be
Not trying to make friends, trying to make music that makes history

I'm on fire, I'm gonna say this
When we lose our faith, we lose our hope, we can't replace it
You don't think that's cool, well I don't think you're cool
I guess that's one way we agree

So why are we not talking about God
When everything around us is going to hell
Tell me, if you're so smart
Then why does everything that you do always fail, yeah
You got faith in numbers while I got faith in faith
So hear me out
When you're in the darkest of spaces
Do you want numbers or faith? Yeah
Numbers or faith, yeah
