Whisper

(album: Daylight - 2022)

These days God's a dirty word for most good people
The ones that look like Jesus
Don't believe in Jesus
Fighting holy civil wars under the steeple
Watch how we treat people
I see why you don't believe us

Still your eyes scrape the sky like a thirsty kid
Looking for some meaning you're sure don't exist
I'll admit the math don't look promising
If its math you're looking for

But have you ever kissed someone you've been in love with?
Or gotten choked up at a sunset?
Has a movie ever made you feel like crying
Watched the news and felt like dying?
Belief in anything is really hard
Faith is catching bullets in the dark
But if life is worth the hurt
And if love is work the work
What if god is just a whisper from your heart
Whisper from your heart

In Nashville, close to Bridgestone arena
There's a statue of Athena
I wonder if you've seen her
We laughed at how they used to bow their knees to
A golden busty statue
You said that's what praying feels like

But now I hear you're saving up for therapy
Hoping there is meaning that could bring you piece
You're silencing the voice that's saying it might be
Everything you're looking for

Have you ever kissed someone you've been in love with?
Or gotten choked up at a sunset?
Has a movie ever made you feel like crying
Watched the news and felt like dying?
Belief in anything is really hard
Faith its catching bullets in the dark
But if life is worth the hurt
And if love is work the work
What if god is just a whisper from your heart
Whisper from your heart

Christians call it Jesus
Musicians call it soul
I fall somewhere between sex & drugs & rock n roll
But if you want someone to hold you
Isn't that enough?

Belief in anything is really hard
Faith is catching bullets in the dark
But if life is worth the hurt
And if love is work the work
Maybe god is just a whisper from your heart
From your heart
