[Verse 1]
Words, they keep dropping
They keep spilling from my hands on to paper
I'm in Virginia
It's 3am and I can't fall asleep

[Pre-Chorus]
Just a little bit of faith is what I want
It's what I need in my institutions
So I wait, so patiently

[Chorus]
But when it happens (When it happens)
Over and over (Over and over)
Can we hear it? (Can we hear it?)
Yeah let's hear it, for the whistleblower!

[Verse 2]
Wait! Won't you look around you?
Won't you look beside you now to figure out the score?
Read, skim down the front page
And you'll see my given name presenting yours

[Pre-Chorus]
Just a little bit of faith is what I want
It's what I need in my institutions
So I wait, so patiently
[Chorus]
But when it happens (When it happens)
Over and over (Over and over)
Can we hear it? (Can we hear it?)
Yeah let's hear it, for the whistleblower!

[Bridge]
You can say it any way you want to
You can frame it any way you can
But I can tell you I've read the fine print
Written by your steady hand
You can say it any way you want to
You can frame it anyway you can
What's behind your good intentions
On your heart, a hidden hand?

[Pre-Chorus]
Just a little bit of faith is what I want
It's what I need in my institutions
So I wait, so patiently

[Chorus]
But when it happens (When it happens)
Over and over (Over and over)
Can we hear it? (Can we hear it?)
Yeah let's hear it, for the whistleblower!
