VERSE 1 I’ve been walking through the questions That the night sky never answers, Tracing circles in the darkness of my mind. Every star feels like a riddle, Every silence like a warning the truth I’m searching for I’ll never find. PRE CHORUS And I keep reaching for a meaning In a world that won’t explain, But the more I try to hold it The more it slips away again. CHORUS I wish I could believe— In a story that could hold me, In a promise I could lean on when I’m scared. I wish I could believe— In a heaven waiting for me, In a voice that says I’m seen and someone’s there. But the questions never leave… God, I wish I could believe. VERSE 2 People talk about salvation Like it’s something you can count on, Like the map is clear and faith is just a choice. But I’ve stood out on the edges Where the answers fall to pieces, And the quiet of the cosmos has no voice. PRE CHORUS And I keep hoping for a moment When the doubt will finally break, But the universe is silent And my heart is wide awake. CHORUS I wish I could believe— In a mercy that could find me, In a light that cuts the shadows in my chest. I wish I could believe— In a truth that doesn’t haunt me, In a place beyond the questions where I’d rest. But the ache won’t ever leave… God, I wish I could believe. BRIDGE Maybe faith is just a longing For a world that feels like home, Maybe doubt’s the only compass For a soul that walks alone. But I’m still staring at the heavens Like they’re holding something true— And I’m begging for an answer That the sky won’t give me back to. FINAL CHORUS I wish I could believe— In a love that never falters, In a hand that reaches out when I can’t see . I wish I could believe— In a life beyond the darkness, In a peace that waits for someone lost like me. But the truth I have to grieve… Is I wish I could believe.
