Hey God
Folk-rock fusion with an energetic, percussive backbone. Driven by rhythmic acoustic guitar strumming, organic claps and foot-stomps, and a dynamic male vocal with a slight rasp and emotional range. Vocal tone is natural but raw, with intentional imperfections — inspired by Serhiy Babkin, early Mumford & Sons, and Ben Howard. The performance has a live session feel, with breath-driven intensity and intimate phrasing. Instrumentation includes: Bright, fast-strumming acoustic guitars, Light hand percussion and stomps, Subtle backing vocals in chorus for lift, Occasional ambient pads or reverse reverb to add modern folk depth Mood: uplifting, spiritual, grounded yet passionate. Perfect for stadium folk moments, sunrise driving scenes, or cinematic reflection with rhythm and movement.

Lyrics
Intro – quick pulse, breathy spoken tone, claps begin
I talk to my God — like he’s my bro
Like my best friend — yo, that’s how we roll
He’s the kinda guy you can’t repeat
What he’s done? Man, no one can compete
Verse 1 – upbeat rhythm, spoken-sung delivery
Anytime — anywhere — angels drop
Their timing? Ha! It’s never off
To the left — hissin’ devils talk
To the right — lullabies that rock
When the meaning’s gone and I’m lost inside
Forget why I breathe, forget how to fight
He came like a beast — wild and free
Tried to break me down to dust and scream
Nailed me up to heaven’s ceiling
Made me feel some brutal feeling
Now each time I stand on stone
I shout out loud — to him alone:
Chorus – lifted, full vocal harmonies, stomp rhythm
Hello God!
Thanks that you’re still with me, God
Thanks that we are still just we, God
Thanks for stitching hearts in place
For tying me to her with grace
Shine on God
Give us skies with stars above
And all that flows down from your love
Collect our hearts when they can’t breathe
And heal the wounds beneath our grief
Verse 2 – drums building, call-and-response energy
In the morning I look straight in your eyes
Watch you paint the days, the storms, the skies
Snow, and heat, and wind, and rain
How you move — it’s never plain
Wherever I fall, wherever I hide
You’re seven steps ahead of my stride
You took the weight of what we do
We’re just leaves — from the same old root
Can’t refuse you when you speak
You shine right through — pure mystique
You dry seas and flip the earth
You know what this soul is worth
When you say “stop,” you dive through flame
And all I lock deep in my brain
You know it better than I can name
You see me raw — and love me the same
Chorus – energetic repetition, more vocal dynamics
Hello God!
Thanks that you’re still with me, God
Thanks that we are still just we, God
Thanks for stitching hearts in place
For tying me to her with grace
Shine on God
Give us skies with stars above
And all that flows down from your love
Collect our hearts when they can’t breathe
And heal the wounds beneath our grief
Outro – fading but rhythmic, breathy repetition
Heal us…
See us…
Keep us…
Hey God…
