Stevie Wonder - Faith Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
See the girl with the diamonds and the shoes? (Yeah)
She walks around like she's got nothing to lose
Yes she's a go-getter, she's everybody's type
She's a queen of the city but she don't believe the hype
Pre-Chorus 1
She's got her own elevation, holy motivation
'Til I wrote some letters on big bold signs
Chorus 1:
I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith
Verse 2:
See the boy with the Stevie Wonder swag?
Ain't got a cup all the magic that he has
He's a go-getter, he's everybody's type
I'm a make it my mission, make him feel alright
Pre-Chorus 2
He's a twelve on a ten point, rocking out to his joint
Just say the word 'cause I can sing all night
(Chorus 1)
Faith, yeah
Yes I do, um
Bridge
I get it running and my mind goes crazy
I think about you morning, noon, night and day
Repeat 3x
(Chorus 2)
I got faith in you honey, I got faith in you girl
I met you, hallelujah
I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow (love you somehow)
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith
(Faith, faith, baby)
I got faith in you baby, I got faith in you now
And you've been such a, such a good friend of me
Know that I love you somehow
I met you, hallelujah (3x)
I got faith

Stevie Wonder - Faith ft. Ariana Grande
Meaning & Inspiration
Stevie Wonder's 2016 collaboration with Ariana Grande, "Faith," stands as a vibrant testament to the enduring power of conviction, echoing profound spiritual truths that resonate deeply with anyone seeking hope in challenging times. More than just a catchy tune, the song is a clear call to action, urging listeners to hold onto their inner strength and belief, much like the biblical figures who faced immense adversity with unwavering trust in a higher power. The narrative woven throughout "Faith" speaks to the universal human experience of encountering doubt and despair, yet it steadfastly points towards an internal wellspring of resilience. This mirrors the scriptural admonition found in Hebrews 11:1, which defines faith as "the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Wonder's masterful delivery, bolstered by Grande's soulful vocals, crafts an anthem that is both personal and communal, reminding us that our faith is not a passive feeling but an active force that can propel us forward. The song’s emphasis on seeing beyond present difficulties to envision a brighter future aligns with the teachings of Romans 8:25, which states, “But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.” This patience, coupled with an active belief, is precisely what "Faith" encourages, painting a picture of a world where collective belief can indeed foster positive change and overcome obstacles, much as a mustard seed of faith, as described by Jesus in Matthew 17:20, can move mountains. The track’s message is a direct invitation to cultivate an unshakeable inner conviction, recognizing that this foundation of belief is the bedrock upon which we build our lives, drawing strength from the knowledge that even in moments of darkness, the light of faith can guide us towards a more hopeful dawn.
