Third Day's song 'How Do You Know' explores the tension between personal doubt and the well-meaning but incomplete advice of others. The narrator admits to having questions and false revelations, yet holds onto a resilient faith that, while sometimes blind, never loses its way. The lyrics push back against those who presume to know God's plan for someone else's life, reminding listeners that only God sees the full picture. It's a thoughtful reflection on trusting God through uncertainty and resisting the pressure to have all the answers.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've got my doubts and I've got my questions
It's nothing new 'cause I've seen them before
I've had my share of false revelations
It always seems they're knockin' on my door
You said that I should see the light
But sometimes faith is blind
How do you know, how do you know
What I'm suppose to be doing
Why do you go, why do you go on
Thinking you know my fate
So many times I've lost my step
But never lost my way
How do you know, how do you know
When I don't know myself
You're thinking that you've got all the answers
You've got my situation figured out
But you're only seeing part of the picture
There's so much more that you don't know about
And here you come to speak your mind
But I'll say one more time
