Woke up late on a Saturday with a dream in my heart I could fly
Wondering how, if anything could kill the sadness inside
My father, let's say he's a logic man who couldn't see the pie in the sky
My mother believed in faith 'fore all things and put her stock in the divine
But all my life I've questioned and stifled my thoughts inside
Oh all my life I've wondered why nothing ever felt right
So I cried and I prayed and I begged for more, my spirit began to die
So I packed it up and let go, but the question stayed on my mind
How can I believe when I cannot see what's not right in front of me?
I'm asking you
How can I believe if I cannot see the things they are tell me?
Oh I want to believe
But it's just not for me
It's just not for me
I wish I could see the things that they see
I wish I could feel how they feel
I want to believe there's more than just me
I want to find something that's real
But all my life I've questioned I've stifled my dreams and I've cried
Oh all my life I've wondered why nothing ever felt right
And I've cried and I've prayed and I've begged for more, I've felt my spirit die
But I'll packed it up and head home, but the question will stay on my mind
How can I believe when I cannot see what's not right in front of me?
I'm asking you
How can I be free if I cannot be the things that I wanna be?
Oh I want to believe
Oh I wish I could see.
But it's just not for me
It's just not for me
