india.arie - god is real

the sweetest honey to the brightest flower
the largest planet to the smallest atom
snowflakes and the bird kingdom
smaller than the eye can see
bigger then the mind can conceive

heard a man on the radio today
(spoken)i mean i'm not going to believe in anything
that i can't see
and i've been through a lot of hardships in my life
ya know ya know in my life
must confess i disagreed with what he had to say
how he could he not believe that god is real
i don't understand how
he could feel that way

when there's earth, air, water, and fire
so many different flowers
sunshine and rain showers
so many different crystals
and hills and volcanoes


that's how i know that god is real
all of this is not by chance
that's how i know that god is real
all of this is not by chance
that's how i know that god is real
i know this is not by chance
that's how i know that god is real

in st. lucia i jumped in the water
(spoken)it was like i was seeing it for the first time.
it literally changed my life.
for the first time i understood it's power
as i swam i was cleansed
if i had any doubts
this experience cleared them
now i know for sure that god is real
i know that it's the truth
by the way it feels

cause i saw starfish and sponges
fish shaped like trumpets
so many different colors
i stayed out there for hours
and i only saw a fraction of a fraction
of the deepest of the deep of the great blue wide
it brought a tear to my eye

we're made of the same stuff
as the moon and the stars
the oceans saltwater just like my tears are
you feel me
the sunrises and sets everyday without fail
