[Intro: Jean Terrell]

Faithfully reaches out for dreams

Just like me

Reaching through the darkness

Glorious is a day breaking in

Just like Him

Breaking through the darkness


[Verse 1: Kardinal Offishall]

Ayo, material I write could dry the tears (Tears)

Of a thousand peers (Peers)

For a thousand years (Years)

And a thousand cheers

Won't erase my fears (Yah)

I'm better off livin' life where Jesus is (Is)

Not a atheist, but them Christian kids (Kids)

A little too judgemental about my sins (Yeah)

And I aim to win, but I miss the mark

Paul, Peter and Joseph when I depart

But I follow my heart without any disguise (Yeah)

Blood drippin' from my sleeve cos my heart don't see that Intentions are covered with smiles and positivity

Behind the fake is a snake that could murder me (Murda)

Life's filled with things you never heard of

Been tryna get it since niggas was readin' Word Up! (Word Up)

Struggles that I been through make the average man curl up

Godson coming grandma saying "Hurry up" (Yeah)


[Hook: Jean Terrell]

Faithfully reaches out for dreams

Just like me

Reaching through the darkness

Glorious is a day breaking in

Just like Him

Breaking through the darkness


[Verse 2: Kardinal Offishall]

Ayo, scriptures I spit they be glossy in nature

Themes that I dream in my mind might save ya

I am no savior, seen as an ambassador

Dancing round the bull with a cape like a matador
