About This Track

Daniel Caesar confronts the weight of faith and self-doubt on 'Touching God', a track built on the tension between gratitude and despair. He speaks directly to God about the gap between creation and suffering, asking what value his voice holds when no one listens, what identity remains when stripped of external validation. The song moves between accusation and acceptance, Caesar caught between praising the divine and resenting the life he's been given. Devonté Hynes enters with a bridge that echoes spiritual transformation, whilst Yebba's outro lifts the song toward affirmation, her voice carrying a prayer for God's will to be done. The track exposes the duality of existence: in one moment Caesar praises God for making him; in the next, he admits to hating himself. What emerges is not resolution but a kind of stubborn faith, the belief that a moment of understanding will arrive even when the present feels unbearable.

"Touching God" is a track by Daniel Caesar, from the album Son Of Spergy, released 24th October 2025. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Touching God

[Verse: Daniel Caesar]

I know you're sick and tired of words

Floating 'round the universe in spite

Of all the time and all the work

You put in, I know it hurts, and I

I've seen you lose your ground to lowly skies

Fell too fast, can't get the chance to cry

Who will you ever be without their eyes?

What good's your voice if no one really minds?

Settle down 'til the moment comes around

There's a plan you won't understand for now

I was going so crazy, couldn't run

I know there's a God that's withholding his help

I know you made me, but I hate myself

And I know, when I know that it's buried somеwhere elsе

And I know that I'll find my moment

'Cause what good's your voice if no one really minds?

[Bridge: Devonté Hynes]

When I was a child, spoke like a child

When I was a child, I became a man

When I was a child, thought like a child

[Outro: Yebba]

Oh, Lord

Thy kingdom come

Yes, you're an awesome God

Thy will be done

Oh, Lord

The battle is won

On Earth and Heaven

Praised be the Son
