Man of Faith

I keep a cross inside a drawer of an old dresser I don't use

I put it there with all the questions and

the doubts I've held onto

Like should I hang it up or should I hang it up

And I made almost every Sunday with my family as a kid

But in recent years, The Church of Doubt

is preaching in my ear

And it makes a lot of sense, and there's no politics

But no, a feeling lies awake, in my chest,

that there's a point in all of this

No, a feeling lies awake, in my chest, that I can't shake

I'm a man of faith

I'm a man of faith

I'm a man of faith

And I know it like hope and the sun on my skin

I've been logicked and outreasoned, thrown my questions at the sky

But there's a logic in believing life has got a reason why

And I'm pretty sure my heaven's just the answer to my questions

And in getting up each day, I think we all display some trust

But when there's so much hell around us, God,

I get the atheists

But I have been in love, and I have seen some good

No, a feeling lies awake, in my chest,

that something gives in all of this

No, a feeling lies awake, in my chest, that I can't shake

I'm a man of faith

I'm a man of faith

I'm a man of faith

And I know it like love and the good that there is

Well I'm not afraid of nothing,

but I do believe in something

I think science and a story aren't mutually imperfect

I doubt life's a black hole or a sorting of the souls

And I know it isn't popular to talk about these things

And I mean to make no sermon you and I can disagree

There's been no decree beyond our own beliefs

No, nothing's gonna make me change my mind

No, 'cuz I've got a reason, 'cuz I've got a reason why

I'm a man of faith, I'm a man of faith

I'm a man of faith, I am not ashamed

I'm a man of faith

I'm a man of faith

Yeah, and I know that there is more

than what I understand

What if God were not one being doing good things

What it God were every good thing being done
