Song Meaning
This song captures a collective spiritual hunger, sung from the perspective of a generation that has glimpsed its potential and now longs for something authentic. The repeated cry for the "real thing" is a plea for a tangible, transformative encounter with God, not just a distant belief. The lyrics weave together a sense of wonder—an inexplicable feeling of falling in love with the divine—and a determined resolve to pursue this relationship despite not having all the answers. There's a raw honesty in admitting that reasons are hard to find, yet the pull is undeniable. The chorus becomes a battle cry, asking for the Spirit to be sent, while the verses express a deep need for God's healing touch and a vision of His majesty filling the earth. The song's structure, with its repetitive declarations, mirrors the intensity of this longing, culminating in the simple, profound confession that God alone is what the heart desires. It's a worship anthem that acknowledges both the struggle and the surrender, inviting listeners to join in the pursuit of a faith that is real and alive.

We belong to a generation
We've had a taste
Of what we can become
So we lift our eyes to Heaven
Full of power and grace
We now live to overcome
And we try to find our reasons
But we can't explain
This feeling that we're falling in love
And in everything You lead us
By Your grace
You're the only thing that we want
We want the real thing God
And we will fight for it
We need Your spirit here
Send Your spirit
We want the real thing God
And we will fight for it
We need Your spirit here
Send Your spirit
We want the touch of Your hand
It heals our souls and feeds our hunger
We want to see Your Majesty
Fill the earth with love and wonders
And we try to find our reasons
But we can't explain
This feeling that we're falling in love
And in everything You lead us
By Your grace
You're the only thing that we want
We want the real thing God
And we will fight for it
We need Your spirit here
Send Your spirit
We want the real thing God
And we will fight for it
We need Your spirit here
Send Your spirit
We want the real thing God
And we will fight for it
We need Your spirit here
And we try to find our reasons
But we can't explain
This feeling that we're falling in love
And in everything You lead us
By Your grace
You're the only thing that we want
You're the only thing that we want
You're the only thing that we want
You're the only thing that we want
We want the real thing God
And we will fight for it
We need Your spirit here
Send Your spirit
[repeat till end]
