"BELIEVIN' IS SEEING"

Verse 1 [sung]
Looking at the world around from their physical plane
And all the things they value as for real & true & sane,
They've tried to shut out all the things that they cannot explain,
But there's more to life than what gets figured out inside their brains.

Verse 2 [Rap]
Isolated in the world they've invented,
Next they're gonna start calling me demented.
All stuck down in their two-D level,
They say, "There's no God, or angels, no Devil."
They fight to make their money, just to make ends meet,
What they don't see is life's triumphs & defeats
Are won & lost in the realm unseen.
We've gotta look up, & wake up, & smell the coffee beans!
You say the world's all a stage, you're just an actor,
But what happened to the "God Factor"?!
I say

Chorus 1 [Rap]
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Now reality takes on a whole new meaning!

Verse 3 [sung]
As real as you & me, our flesh & bones & blood & skin,
The feeling grows, inside you know the truth is shining in.
You've never seen a kangaroo or been to Tokyo,
But that doesn't make 'em less for real for those who want to know.

Verse 4 [Rap]
So call me a nut, make your allegations.
All I can do is to pray for patience.
Another world is out there, but you need not fear it.
Get to know the One Who said, "God's a Spirit."
You'll have His power, His power is love,
Greater than earthbound man could dream of.
So come on, don't be a doubting Thomas.
We've got the same Jesus & we've got His promise.
Though the final days are almost upon us,
And the forces of the System will try to con us,
This unbelieving world will be astonished
'Cause they didn't pay attention when they were admonished.

Chorus 2 [Rap]
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.

Chorus 3
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Come 'n' start believing,
'Cause believing is seeing.
Now reality takes on a whole new meaning!
