Matthew West Performs "Something Greater" In NYC Subway

Four-Time Grammy Nominated Christian singer Matthew West recently took to the New York City subway with a live acoustic performance of his song, "Something Greater."

West released his new album, All In on Sept. 22 and the musical project is being pegged "the most personal project he's done in years." The theme of the album is centered around what it looks like to devote one's life completely to the areas of faith, marriage, family, and the world. The singer took that "all in" mentality around the United States while promoting his new release and that led him to the New York City subway.

"There's something greater happening here ... yes, here, even in the New York City subway," West declared on Social Media along with a video performance of him singing one of his new songs.

The Illinois native stood boldly at the 53st and 7ave station in between the B, D, and E subway lines.

[Verse 1]
One day we were strangers
Ain't it crazy how a single moment
Changes life as you know it
And now we've got the same last name
Thought I was moving to Nashville
Just to sign a record deal
But my reason changed when I saw her face

[Chorus]
Do you ever get the feeling that
There's something greater happening here?
Do you ever get the feeling that
There's something greater happening here?
It's like our hearts are a part of a bigger story

[Verse 2]
Have you ever seen the ocean from the shore
Ever stood under a blanket of burning stars
And tried to count 'em all
Did it make you feel small
Have you ever felt peace in the middle of pain
Witnessed a miracle, the doctors say they can't explain
We think we're in control but are we in control?

[Chorus]
Do you ever get the feeling that
There's something greater happening here?
Do you ever get the feeling that
There's something greater happening here?
It's like our hearts are a part of a bigger story

[Bridge]
It's beautiful, it's tragic
It's something more than magic
It's the laughter, it's the tears
It's the road that led us here
It's the majesty, the mystery
It's a billion heartbeats symphony
Like a river to the ocean
One hand sets it all in motion!...

[Chorus]
Do you ever get the feeling that
There's something greater happening here?
It's beautiful , it's tragic
Do you ever get the feeling that
There's something greater happening here?
It's something more than magic
It's like our hearts are a part of a bigger story

[Outro]
Six pounds ten ounces
I'm holding perfect in a little pink blanket
And I thought I moved to Nashville
Just to sign a record deal
