Lyrics

Look how much I gained after everything I lost
How could I not place my trust?
In Something that knows us more than we know us
How could I not pray and give thanks?
After all of those mistakes, He still gave me chance after chance
You see, before birth it was darkness
And after death, we always thought it'd be the same
But the soul is separate from the body
And after life, the soul shall remain
They say, then unto God we shall return
As it's from Him we all came
Some question does He even exist?
What's understood need not be explained
But we ain't people of understanding
We're people of living and ignoring
Let's ignore the reality, so we can enjoy the fantasy
Fantasy's all it is when you don't enjoy it actually
A people of pretenders, let's pretend we're filled with happiness
Smiling on the outside, while inside filled with sadness
How can you find peace in the heart? (x2)
If you don't have a connection with the One who created the heart
We can worship the clothes and we can worship the cars
But we don't worship the One who created the moon and the stars
It's crazy when you look at life
I grew up poor so I was generally unhappy
And the media let us believe that success was in materials and money
So we praise those who have the most
We look up to them and label them celebrities
Wishing we had a life like theirs
While they're wishing they had a life of simplicity
They spent a life tryna avoid the cameras
We spent our time tryna be in front of them
We praise them for their beauty and their talent
While we ignore the God that created them
That's like thanking the waitress that brings the meal
But disregarding the chef
That's like praising the beauty of a building
But not the architect
You're amazed by the plane and the designer of the aeroplane
What about the designer of a bird or a brain?
Sad reality, we've become a nation that don't worship the Creator
But we worship His creation
Have you ever been to the mountains?
Go to the mountains, stand upon them
Ponder on them, look at the clouds that hover over them
Look at the sky, try and understand the life of the birds that fly
Look at the sea, watch the fish swim
The shark's fin and the jumping dolphin
Listen to the roaring, sounds of the jungle
Animals and mankind, heavens and earth
How could two people come together
And bring about a child's birth
Mad! Now what's that life worth? They just play, study and work
But that play ain't even satisfying
We're all depressed and unsatisfied
And this work ain't even sufficient
Nobody's content with their current position
Continuously searching for more and more and more
But we don't know what we're searching for
I made a study about what we study
It troubled me cuz honestly most of it was worthless
That's why we live our life without knowing our true purpose
They taught us science but didn't teach us science
They taught us history but didn't teach us history
That was all from the wrong perspective and too selective
I didn't learn religion in R.E., they can't modify me
I'm more Malcolm than Michael, I stay with the character, delightful
But the brain's always serious, focus on what's in front of us
Seeing past the nights and days
Looking ahead to when we fall and then raise
I can't live without praise
Don't praise me, praise the One that made me
Praise the One that made it all
None of this could ever come about by chance
Look at the planets and the galaxy
This world would end, be there one collision
But they orbit the Sun in a perfect fashion
Imagine life without God (x2)
We was broke, prayed for money, then the door knocked
We were scared, prayed for safety, then the cars stopped
And when it didn't
When it didn't, we kept the faith and saw the benefits another day
We trust God's wisdom so we accept his decision
They question and end up in deeper depression
Don't be like them, you are the company of your friend
The truth is we don't wanna believe it
We're scared of what we don't know
We're comfortably lost, we don't wanna ruin it
And we would be forced to, if we'd seen it
But we blind play, like that's the easier way
How can you not praise the God that created everything you admire?
The Ruler of the Heavens and the Fire
You stay silent when the universe is expanding
Can't count the stars or fathom your surroundings
You make noise when your favourite player scores a goal
But what's that compared to the universe and the black hole
You act like God's power is just a made-up story
Split the atom and you'll understand His glory
God is perfect, without any flaw
Gratitude, forgiveness, forever opening mercy's door
Even if He gave you nothing
Even after everything, He didn't give you nothing more
He is still worthy of worship, through good times and the hardship
Humble yourself before you get humbled
God is the Greatest, without any doubt
Don't act like you created yourself, inside and out
Everything comes from Him
Our wealth, this world, everything
Don't be blind, look how we're designed
Our eyes, our hair, four fingers and a thumb
The heart, the liver, the lungs
God's plan is better than anyone's
When turbulence hits a plane, or that boat hits the wave
Watch how fast they call His name
After everything they say, when life's at stake
Even a disbeliever starts to pray
How can we not believe in God?
Don't look at all the things we could have
Look at everything we got
And when the night and day is over, and we're raised up
We return to Him, we face our Creator
Pray today before it's too late
