[Intro] (layered guitars — warm, driving Boston tone) (organ underneath, clean drums enter) [Verse 1] New face in the hallway Sophomore year, still cold One guy from the football team Looked at me and just said “Hey man… There are pretty girls At my church” [Pre-Chorus] I won’t lie — It wasn’t the sermon that got me It was the pretty girls And God just smiled and said “Good enough… Let’s go” [Chorus] Quiet faith and pretty girls That’s how the story starts Quiet faith and pretty girls And a family with wide open hearts They never preached, they never pushed They just drove me every Sunday Pulled me in, fed me at their table Like a son Quiet faith and pretty girls Changed the whole direction Of everything I’d become Quiet faith And pretty girls And a God who uses both To get things done [Verse 2] Wednesday nights, Sunday mornings Backseat of their car They never asked for my story They just made room for who I was A Bible with a photograph Of Oral Roberts on the cover Handed to a kid Who’d never owned one No fire and brimstone, no pressure Just love and consistency They planted something in me They didn’t even know was growing [Pre-Chorus] I won’t lie — I wasn’t hunting for Jesus I was seventeen And there were pretty girls In that place Good enough [Chorus] Quiet faith and pretty girls That’s how the story starts Quiet faith and pretty girls And a family with wide open hearts They never preached, they never pushed They just drove me every Sunday Pulled me in, fed me at their table Like a son Quiet faith and pretty girls Built the foundation Of everything I’d become Quiet faith And pretty girls And a God who knew exactly What He was doing [Guitar Solo] (Tom Scholz melodic, soaring, joyful — 16 bars) [Bridge] Years later at his father’s funeral I stood up and told the room What that family did for a lost kid His own kids smiled through tears Because they finally understood What their grandfather really was A man of quiet faith Who drove a teenager to church For the pretty girls And trusted God With the rest [Final Chorus – bigger, full harmonies] Quiet faith and pretty girls That’s how the story starts Quiet faith and pretty girls And a God with a sense of humor And the biggest heart They never preached, they never pushed They just loved me like a son Quiet faith and pretty girls Changed the whole direction Of my life And forty years later I still believe God uses everything — Even pretty girls To get His work done [Outro] (guitars cycling the main riff, warm layered harmonies) Quiet faith… Pretty girls… God uses everything 🔥 😍 😱 🙌 👍 😎 🥵
