If there’s a God
do you think he’s looking down
curled up on his couch right now?
as we fail to figure it out
does he turn down the sound?
is he proud?
are we proud?
Guess we forgot
how to live a life with no filter
making boring people famous
let’s pretend they’re fascinating
let’s tell little girls
that pretty girls are better
or that pigment or religion really matters
(pre-chorus)
we’re in some trouble
Mr. Maker
don’t turn away from your screen
at least the bubble
that we’ve created
could make for some good TV
(chorus)
oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you’re tuning in up there
way up there
would you care
to answer my question?
oh, the land of poor taste
the spectacle of cut and paste
that we’ve made
would you say
please say
it was worth the 7 days
(verse 2)
does he hang his head
at all the greed we possess?
as the anti-social media
perpetuates the mess
maybe it’s a test
maybe he’s upset
by the loose-ends
stressed, like the rest of us
it happens to the best of us God
or is it Mr. G to me?
I hope that through the static you’ll show us the clarity
‘cause it’s hard to find the silver lining in the bittersweet
wonder if you’re praying for us
before you go to sleep?
do you sleep in peace?
(pre-chorus)
(bridge)
don’t touch the remote
we’ll be back in a moment
we are not hopeless
we are just coping
the mayhem is volant
but it ain’t showbiz
reality’s potent
chaotic, I know it
but we’re growing
have some hope in us
were we worth all the time you gave up?
(chorus)

She's one of the greatest lyricists of this generation. Don't fight me on this. She's got better bars than most rappers 👑
🧢🤣
Let them, they won't win. 😂😂
I wouldnt say one of the greatest but damn she is a good ass lyricist!
She definitely is, I love her! I'm tired of those idiots Lyrics out there on this industry
I know right
I totally agree 💯😊
I love that Alessia is able to make songs that are great for everyone, but also have Christian themes. As a Christian kid, it can be annoying that every song about Christianity portrays our “perfect relationship” with God. In reality, most of us spend a lot of our time questioning what’s actually going on up there. It’s just nice to have someone who understands the vulnerability of our faith. Thank you Alessia for this bop! 💓
Ster your so right my group of friends are catholic but their more “forced” and make me feel frustrated because they just don’t believe all the things god has given us and I just tell them it’s normal to question him while your going through tough times but you just gotta believe and trust him
Hey that's cool! I just wanted to say that I'm not Christian or even religious so hearing this makes me happy just because it's making people think more outside the box than be comfortated by it. When I tell people that I'm not religous or don't have a religion, I end up getting judged hardcore, especially being 15. I only tell people to not change their mind but to be open it to other possibilities than god and just wonder. Since I don't have a religion, I just wonder on what is real than have no thoughts or just say I know everything after death even tho I don't. Even so, I do still think there could be a chance of him being alive but also at the same time, so many other things could be real! Sorry for this essay but just wanted to say this and hope no one attacks me😂
Angel Hidalgo your right and that’s a struggle too, we sometimes question if he is real or not which we have the right too. As a human I’m also interested in the current place I am now you know and try to view other’s perspectives
@@salmaberumen6885 that's good & it makes sense I thought about this, & it is human nature to think about these things. I just think this way because I live in utah in the US & that is pretty much mormon town so I know & hear lots about this. But one thing that I don't hear much, is about people wondering about god so this just makes me feel a lot better that I'm not so outcasted. It's hard tho because most of my family is catholic, a reason for that is that we are mexican, which lots of Mexicans are usually mexican. I'm not speaking for all but it is very popular for sure. But with that, I was raised different because I was given the option to believe in what I want and not worry so that's why it's important to me. I mean do you see my name? It's Angel for crying out loud & that's tough for me but it's life lol. Well anyway, thank you for this and that you for responding!
This is so narcissistic
who else thinks she is so underrated? she deserves more fame !
Ernesto Felix I do I love her and all her music she can sing anything she's one of my favorite artists. I want to see her live someday and meet her
she really deserves the world honestly
Christine ღ I'm gonna save my money to buy a meet and greet pass with her when she comes to Washington DC I want to get a picture with her
She has a grammy
She deserves more credits..
"Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better Or that pigment or religion really matters"
*DEEP* 🌹💙
fe fe she said pigment over religion really matters
c Tori she said “pigment or religion really matters” >look up the lyrics on google
@@Jametris thank you! :)
lol i read this just as the song played it
Finally someone who can put reality's ugly truth in the form of art.
the lyrics hit me hard
Alessia's way of putting words together about reality is so artistic
galinha pitadinha
galinha pitadinha
like no other
At least God gave us Alessia
Hahaha great comment
She was definitely worth the 7 days ❤
@@amiyahkitty8431 are u alright?
@@zektaib1020 thx
@@zektaib1020 I know this is old but that comment just made my day!
This is such a good message. "Making lazy people famous" is such a problem that isn't noticed. Beautiful beings like you need more attention you deserve it!
@AJ Martinez Yes it is. Untalented people are grabbing more success for being loud and reckless over hard working talented people who do twice as much to be able to gather some scraps and support themselves.
Connor Monroe I thought she said “making boring people famous”
@@raylenepulido5434 yeah I know I was just too lazy to change it. 😂 thanks for noticing tho!
AJ Martinez yea, I don’t think it’s a problem either lol
@@breezy921 thats not a problem we can really solve
Is this the Earth's anthem? Yes. It certainly is.
from HERE TO 7 DAYS
"It was worth the seven days" Idk why but that hits me so hard.
Cause it's true are we worth the 7 days god spend creating earth
@@adamariam6327 I know what she meant. It's just, with how everything seems to becoming worse day by day, it's really touching to see/hear that someone's still having hope in humanity. Idk it's just really inspiring
@@rizatusz8163 I still have hope in us but at the same time I tried to ask God if we were really worth the 7 days earth it's becoming worse each passing day and I sometimes hate myself for not been able to help and fix it
I get it hits home to me because I have lost people that I love for the stupid wars in Mexico and it gets exhausting everyday to see everyone's families are been destroy I'm just thankful that my family it's safe and sound right now
@@adamariam6327 have an amazing day... your thankfulness is inspiring
"MAKING BORING PEOPLE FAMOUS"..
this hit me hard😭
This woman deserve so much more hype omg she’s so amazing
I usually don’t like comparing artists, but I really think that Alessia Cara is the Lauryn Hill of our generation🙂💥 She is truly a special artist. This is such a thoughtful and deep song from Alessia, and I respect that she asks questions in this song because it means that she cares, and that she genuinely wants to know the answers. The good news is that we ARE “worth the 7 days”!🙂 God loved us SO much that He gave his one and only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins to show us how much He loved us, and that we were worth saving! You have SO MUCH value to God. All you have to do is put your faith in Jesus Christ and repent from your sins by choosing to live according in His ways✝️ God bless Alessia and all of you guys!💖👍🏾
Don't thank, just read this amazing, true, deep, song!

It’s pigment or religion
The spectacle of cut and paste
It's literally in the description( not trying to be rude)
Am I the only one who needs this song to be re-released with updated lyrics and a music video to reflect what's going on so far in 2020?
How about what's going on in 2022? We're not gonna make it and I know it. It's scary. And we, as the youngest generation are expected to fix it all for some reason. Idk how tho
Edit: grammar error
Songs like this make me wonder what it'd be to have deep conversations with Alessia... Just amazing💕
I've always thought this and i hope one day I could talk to her😭❤❤
this songs aging like fine wine
7 rings: almost 800mil views
7 days:not even 1mil views....
WERE IN SOME TROUBLE....
Looks like I have a lot of songs to memorize!
Mariaaa! Same I still can barely process how excited I am tho
Sameeeee love these!
I've already memorized half the songs this album. I'm such a nerd🤓😂👏
@@avocadomom18 lol right Yea I've memorized pretty much all of it😂
It's great that an artist can sing about God 😁 Bless you Alessia Cara ♥️
Did god waste 7 days making earth and humans just for us to damage it and change ourselves to be “normal”
@keira rose:No. Absolutely not. Some of us are just ignoring the problems in the world. At the same time, it's just human and sometimes necessary to get caught up in our own lives.
felix navarro :: makes since but one of the lyric say “cut and paste” so it like having a doctor cut you for plastic surgery and pasting what other people have.
@@keirarose919 That makes sense, too. Interesting;)
* God
Actually god created the world in "6 days". But anyway the "6 days" among them in reality are like billions and million years , they are not like 144 hours like now.
This one made me cry😭 Protect her at all costs... This was amazingly beautiful.
I really hope you stay on social media love, we connect with your music and it touches us deeply ..... those who are negative don’t deserve a place that influence your thoughts. You are better and perfect as the one and only you!
Daisha Chandler I believe she will stay on Social Media as long as we her fans want to keep in contact with her
this song is seriously the current state of the world---well done Alessia!!!
When she said was it worth 7 days she means the 7 days God spent making earth
Hello
No shit sherlock
@@dontdrinktapwater6194 this comment is for people who don't know that but you obviously do so shit the fuck up eh
@Izzie Sharp did he now-
Izzie Sharp I’m not very religious but I very much love this song, because it’s sending the message of how we try to change and how the world is honestly not the best
Hun you can not be described with words because you're more than EXTRAORDINARY!!! I'm here for you all the way.
Wow one of the best songs from the pains of growing
This new album is finally HERE and it is the SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL!! I am going to college soon and I do not know HOW FAR I'll GO. I do know you will find me where the WILD THINGS are. College is EASIER SAID than done and I GUESS THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE BLUES. There's gonna be a RIVER OF TEARS, followed by some GROWING PAINS.
That's why I gotta TRUST MY LONELY but surely NOT TODAY.
I will never be OUT OF LOVE for Alessia Cara's music. So go and get COMFORTABLE BABIES, because this GIRL NEXT DOOR(Alessia) is playing MY KIND of music💋
Awesome
that flow...
Wow❤ just wow
For sure I will be listening to this song "7 days" a week
God is watching over us every single day! Never lose hope in God's goodness! Have the hope that God gives us in His Word.
Ok first of all this song is talking about ifs. "*If* there's god" is literally how it starts.
Second, this song is mostly talking about what's wrong in the world and if we've disappointed him to the point where he gives up entirely on humanity. you might think god believes in us but personally if he is real he should intervene with all the murder and gore in the world. Also like me there are people who don't believe in god which if I did I'd feel every word in this song 10x louder
@@jennifereaton8618 children dying of hunger and in war-stricken countries are apparently because of "free-will". Never heard of such a load of hot, steaming garbage
@@shiftinghaze212 believe what you want but it's true. "war stricken countries" those people CHOSE to go to war. God didn't order them to.
@@Jerm4ever ...I'm talking about little children
I know you guys don't believe in God and that's absolutely fine. I just think it's important to remember to respect other people's beliefs.
*I got really really emotional. You are just what I needed. Love the vibe, the lyrics, your voice...I love you, Alessia Cara.*
This song still gives me chills
Im definitly buying this album
This song is so relevant right now.
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard! I mean it! I really do. It's so perfect, the meaning, the rithm. Hope everyone in this world to be as lucky as you and I for being listening this.
Lyrically this tune is out of this world. Melodically it's a grand slam!
This really needs a music video 🙏
This really made me cry. I know u won't read this Alessia but u really know how to touch the deepest parts of people's hearts n souls 💙
Four pink walls has left the chat
🤣🤣
lol!
This song low-key sounds sonically similar to Four Pink Walls (the song) though
Mrudul
It's like a sequel
I like these kind of songs. The real and meaningful songs.
Goosebumps everytime.......EVERYTIME
i’m so excited omg i’m crying i love u
This song is perfect on all levels.
Thank you God for giving us Alessia Cara.
I’m atheist-agnostic but this is such a beautiful song and it really emphasizes how much we need to do to improve our world.
same
those lyrics are an amazing representation of whats going on in my head lately.
I love you Alessia, great as always.
She just literally called out human kind. Go off

I LIKE THE OVERSIZED DRESS COAT SHE'S WEARING. QUEEN IN THE 7 DAYS OF OUR LIFE
This is my favorite song from the album at the moment!!!!
You are poop

I was counting down the days so badly
Now its finally here 😭❤️❤️❤️
Love you Alessia
Lyrically insane!

Luv alessia Cara even for a thousand years!!!
Songs like these are so so important and I’m so happy she’s singing about this👏🏽 proud of her
This song is so deep
This is so beautiful
Best lyricist especially for a young woman who can write,sing, perform and produce her own songs .🙏🏾 and plays keyboard and guitar enough said.!!
When are you coming back to Maryland or virgina
Wow🤯 this is powerful
I'm in love with both Alessia albums I saw her live back in 2019 for the Pains Of Growing tour I tried to get Meet And Greet with her but they ran out fast so I'm gonna try to get it the next time she tours

This song is just... fantastic!!! It's so deep. It talks about questions I've been asking myself for years. It just makes me think. And I like the questions it's asks about people who get famous. And social media and what kind of world we are all live in together.
This resonates so much in these dark days 😓
Alessia we need more people like you in this world.😘😘😍
2018 Version Of Four Pink Walls. This Album Is Life
He does think we were worth it. He loved us so much that He came down to us in human form and paid the price for our sins on the Cross. Then after 3 days He rose from the dead and is preparing an eternal home for all those who believe in Him and His sacrifice. All we got to do is believe, repent our sins and love Him back.
people have done that yet still have suffered terrible tragedies.
@@shiftinghaze212 That is because this world is a fallen corrupted world. Doomed to be destroyed. But those who put their faith in Jesus Christ will be saved into a new perfect world that will last forever.
Amen.
@@shiftinghaze212 the teacher is always silent during the test. God is not dead.
This song makes me think of 2020-
My fave song on the album not because of the beats but the substance of the lyrics, the overall message of the song. This should be the definition of music.
I’m sorry why doesn’t this have millions of views love you Alessia😘😘
Still listening. She’s a fav
This album is about growing up, and whenever I look at the album cover it looks like “the pairs of growing” 💀💀💀 and now I can’t
She doesn't usually take high notes *official audio* wise but when she does! 👏 😥
The greatest of all time
Wow. Why are you so underrated? I hope more people appreciate and listen to your songs 💓 you are so wholesome and rare
there's is something so magical in her voice.She can make a simple song beautiful.❤❤❤
What a great song.
Holy shit.. this is deep..
I have been confused about my 'religion' and 'nonreligious' identity. Just read on Genius that you're spiritual but not really into religion and that's almost exactly how I feel, just didnt know how to identify it. Thank you so much (:
what does it mean to be spirirtual but not religious?
I don't even believe in God and I'm living for this
This song is deep without being disrespectful. She’s singing every thing I think about. ❤️
I like her underrated, not like i dont want her to get success.Listening to underrated artist is AWESOME.She is like my little secret🙃 .I freaking love her i swear to god i love EVERY song of this album ive repeated all of em million times
The amount of talent you have literally blows my mind . Keep doing you no matter what . I literally cried about 5 minutes when this dropped smh💞😂
One of my fav songs right now. :)
These lyrics really sum up ou society. Bravo, Alessia!!
Anyone agree?
AHHH FINALLY IM SO EXCITED I LOVE YOU
I felt this one 🤧
The end is soo goodddd
These lyrics were absolutely amazing... thank you for singing about the truth that everyone would rather ignore... your album was well worth the wait keep it up... we love you!!!
This song is still amazing. Forever will be
Who else agrees that 7 Days is a more expanded version of 4 Pink Walls? Do yall hear the similarities?
This is a great album that won't get tiring
I love how mellow it is when it jabs at the concept of the word "celebrity" and how time is a universal thing we take for granted.
I love her so much, I hope his industry doesn’t change her
OMG! I'M SO IN LOVE WITH THE NEW ALBUM 💛
Your voice is really Incredible!!!! Un saluto dall'italia!
Her lyrics are so powerful.
That's a great song... You should cover your own song...but with a brilliant twist. That's a great song...wow.
UM LYRICS AND BEAT IM SHOOKTH
Omg how are u such a lyrical genius? Like how does an ordinary person think of this? You're extraordinary. I love you 😭
This is a masterpiece
