Numbers or faith

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 shoot somebody just to be seen
and it's tearing us apart

do you agree
it's getting kind of 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, yeah

so why're we not
talkin' 'bout 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've got faith in numbers
well, i've got faith in faith
so hear me now
when you're in the darkest of spaces
do you want numbers or faith?
yeah
numbers or faith? now i'm not saying that we 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,
and it's tearing us apart

we're all the same
every single one of us
black, white, gay, straight,
none of us above the others
God is love
love is all we need
and we can figure out the rest if we find something to believe in
yeah

talkin' 'bout 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've got faith in numbers
well, i've got faith in faith
so hear me now
when you're in the darkest of spaces
do you want numbers or faith?
yeah
numbers or faith? you can't 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
if you don't think that's cool,
well i don't think you're cool
guess that's one thing we agree on

so why're we not
talkin' 'bout 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've got faith in numbers
well, i've got faith in faith
so hear me now
when you're in the darkest of spaces
do you want numbers or faith?
yeah
numbers or faith?
