Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

I remember when Your light came in.

I was ten years old with the faith of a kid,

I felt like I could walk on water then,

Wish that I could feel that again.


But I have learned that feelings come and go,

And we all know emotions ebb and flow.

Some days I gotta trust what I already know

That You never let go, You never let go.


So when I don't feel You moving,

That doesn't mean that You have disappeared.

And when I don't feel You with me, oh God

That doesn't mean You're not here.


So I keep on believing, yeah

Cause faith is not a feeling, oh

Yeah I keep on believing, yeah

Cause faith is not a feeling, oh


There are days I hear You loud and clear,

Like nothing in the world could interfere.

And I can sense You deep, deep down in my bones,

And I know I'm not alone, I know I'm not alone.


But when I don't feel You moving,

That doesn't mean that You have disappeared.

And when I don't feel You with me, oh God

That doesn't mean You're not here.


So I keep on believing, yeah

Cause faith is not a feeling, oh

Yeah I keep on believing, yeah

Cause faith is not a feeling, oh


Don't matter what comes my way

Gonna keep, keep believing

Even on my darkest days

Gonna keep, keep believing


Don't matter what comes my way

Gonna keep, keep believing

Even on my darkest days


Yeah like when I don't feel You moving,

That doesn't mean that You have disappeared.

And when I don't feel You with me, oh God

That doesn't mean You're not here.


Oh when I don't feel You moving,

That doesn't mean that You have disappeared.

And when I don't feel You with me, oh God

That doesn't mean You're not here.


So I keep on believing, yeah

Cause faith is not a feeling, oh

Yeah I keep on believing, yeah

Faith is not a feeling, oh


It's not a feeling

Faith is not a feeling

Don't matter what comes my way

Gonna keep, keep believing

Don't matter what comes my way

Gonna keep, keep believing
