Don't be afraid to feel this way
Gonna make you understand
It's not about you, cause I am the fool
Building castles in the sand
If I am crazy, just don't care
It doesn't mean I don't want you near,
This is the story about me and you
And it's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith !
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
So many times and so many ways
I didn't know just where to go,
You gave me a sign and opened my eyes
That's the reason why I know
That you are different, you're still here
I guess you figured me out right then
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh Faith!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith ! have faith !
So don't be afraid... to feel this way...
Just hear me out!
Stay...
...and that's called...
Faith!
Right beside you is where I'll stay
It's not too late
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith... In me!
Oh yeah!
Just take me as I am... so please... have faith!
With a little love
With a little hope
With a little light, to light the way
Faith
The mountains will be moved
With alot of heart
With alot of soul
With mind and strength
My trust
My God
Faith
The mountains will be moved
With the faith to see me through
Every mountain will be moved
Faith
The mountains will be moved
Faith
The mountains will be moved

The mountains will be moved
Faith
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I can't just carry on this way
And every time
I turn away
Lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me...
Suddenly I see you change
Everything at once
The same
But the mountain never moves...
Rape me like a child
Christened in blood
Painted like an unknown saint
There's nothing left but hope...
Your voice is dead
And old
And always empty
Trust in me through closing years
Perfect moments wait...
If only we could stay
Please
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown
And stand
Lost forever in a happy crowd...
No-one lifts their hands
No-one lifts their eyes
Justified with empty words
The party just gets better and better...
I went away alone
With nothing left
But faith
You must have faith in everything you do
Faith will help you find the way faith will see you through
Faith can move mountains and change the tides of sea
You can follow this guiding light wherever you may be
Like the dorkness comes at the end of the day there must be an end to the night
And from the depths of your darkest moment faith will show you the light
Yes you must have faith in everything you do
Faith will help you find the way faith will see you through
[ strings ]
Please stay here, don't run away and slam the door
I think we got to talk it over just once more
Are we ever right in the face of the big truth?
So why fighting for a lie?
Don't lose your faith
Whatever comes to you
Cause time works for those who believe
We'll get it right anew
Don't you lose your faith
Don't every turn away
I'm thinking about the truth there is
Forgotten in a lie
We are branches on the tree of life. We can
Only get together by touching with our leaves
But we got the same roots close in ourselves
So let's grow up to the sky
Don't you lose your faith
Don't ever turn away
I'm thinking about the trust there is
Forgotten in lie
Don't you lose your faith
Whatever comes to you
Cause time works for those who believe
We'll get it right anew
Like a story or a song
Sleeping till it will be sung
Our future lies unfolded
Let's forget it when we've done us wrong
After all you've put me through
There is always something new
Got to face the tests of time
Easy come and easy go
Hard to get a hold on
Searching for what you don't know
Blind to where you belong
Feel the power in your dreams
Vision in your sight
Nothing's dark as it may seem
We can make it right
CHORUS
I have faith
In your love
I have faith
In your heart
You don't need to hide from what you want
You've just got to give it all you got
The first thing that you need
You got to have faith
Truth hidden between the lies
We both know the chances
Nothing comes from compromise
Only strength advances
I will be here at your side
For everything you do
When the world tears at your pride
I'll be there for you
CHORUS
When the world's coming at you like a hungry alligator
You got to have faith
When you've got to pay them now or they'll take it from you later
You got to have faith
When you feel like the future's hiding on a distant cloud
You got to have faith
And you feel like shouting at the good Lord out loud
You got to have faith
CHORUS
When you know that you're ready but the time is not right
You got to have faith
And you lie awake staring at the ceiling all night
You must have faith in everything you do
Faith will help you find the way faith will see you through
Faith can move mountains and change the tide of the sea
You can follow the guiding light wherever you may be
Like the darkness come at the end of each day there must be an end to the night
And from the depths of your darkest moments faith will show you the lights
You must have faced yes in everything you do
Faith will help you find the way faith will see you through
Woke up in the morning still I heard this song
Must be somewhere from my dreams, I don't know
Made me feel so good, sun was shining bright
God, I love you that you brought this little song to give me..
Faith
In the morning
I need that faith
To go on, yeah
Give me some faith
Can't get enough of that sweet feeling, give me faith
Oh yeah, I keep the faith
Sweet little girl, lying next to me
Sunlight's playing on your face with soft shadows
You're so beautiful, dream on, dream on, baby
I'm gonna wake you up when the time is right
I'll give you..
Faith...
One day I shall be released by my creator
Going home to where I came from long ago
And the big wheel keeps on turning round and round
Into eternity with me to cosmic meadows
I will be there with all my friends..
..in the morning

Faith I call your name
When the moonlit sky shines in your eyes
Little Faith, I hear you sniffing at the ground
With your head hung down as you are peering all around
Runaway, she won't run away
Runaway, she won't run away
Faith, why are you growling in your sleep?
Do you stalk the shadows of your dream?
Little Faith, do you dream of me
When the fire is low and you are lying at my feet?
Runaway, she won't run away
Runaway, she won't run away
I called her Faith, I called her Faith
I called her dog and she came
She's a bitch, she's my little bitch
Faith you walk tamely by my side
But I see the wilderness in your eyes
Little Faith, thought you wander n your own
Well
I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I played them
But I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down without devotion
Well
It takes a strong man
Baby
But I'm showin you the door
Because I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Because I've got to have faith
Faith
Faith
I've got to have faith
Faith
Faith
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Stay
Please
Please
Please
Don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby
I reconsider my foolish notion
Well
I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
I've got to have faith
I've got to have faith
Before this river becomes an ocean
'Cause I've got to have faith
What I have here in my hand
Is like faith but not faith
For those without faith also have
What I have here in my hand
What I have here in my hand
Is like feeling but deeper
It's why I am here
What I have here in my hand
Is knowledge without proof
What I have here in my hand
This is what I feel for you
It's why the Earth is alive
It makes electricity work
And fire dance in the sky...
Feel it
Feel inside the atoms where the science
breaks down
Feel inside the atoms where the science
breaks down
If you don't believe me in love
You'd have to make it up
You'd have to make it up
You'd have to make it up
What I have here in my hand
Is like faith but not faith
What I have here in my hand
This is what I feel for you
What I have here in my hand
Is like knowing but deeper
It's why I am here
I'm reaching for the prize, I'm giving everything
I give my life for this it's what I live for
Nothing will keep me from, all that You have for me
You hold my head up high, I live for You
Greater is He, that's living in me
Than he that is in the world
Faith, I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ, I know
Faith, standing and believing
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
I'm reaching for the prize, I'm giving everything
I give my life for this it's what I live for
Nothing will keep me from, all that You have for me
You hold my head up high, I live for You
Greater is He, that's living in me
Than he that is in the world
Faith, I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ, I know
Faith, standing and believing
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Faith, I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ, I know
Faith, standing and believing
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Greater is He, that's living in me
Than he that is in the world
Faith, I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ, I know
Faith, standing and believing
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Faith, I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ, I know
Faith, standing and believing
Well, I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh, but I
Need some time off
From that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
Oh, and that love comes down
Without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you the door
Because I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I got to have faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Sayin' please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to lover boy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back
On the floor
Oh, baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Yes, I've gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I got to have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
Because I got to have faith
Oh yeah, faith
Got to have faith
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back
On the floor
Oh, baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Because I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
Because I got to have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I ask myself
Where has passion gone? Have I grown up?
Am I too old?
I don't feel like I did
I need to feel, there's nothing else
Nothing left
But your taste in my mind
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
But I'm
Singing this song
I feel sick
I need more than this
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone? What shuts me down, tears me apart?
I don't know
What I am
Where's the man, the man with dreams? One man alone
I haven't changed a thing
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along to sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
But I'm
[ VERSE 1 ]
Deep in the mind that wide opens
Right here we stand alive, we live focused
We open-minded, still we die hopeless
With our pride broken and bullet holes covered where we stay at
And everybody's playing for keeps, most people pray that
We all make it up out this godforsaken place that we've been all faced with
We take our chances but they all wasted
And once again you see me (marching, mobbing)
But how long must I continue to see my homies dodgin these marksmen
The whole nine put on the line but never in mind to become the head sergeant
We all targets, the votes are in, but they ain't ours
We got these politicians running their game to regain power
While our whole black community sours
Crime rate towers, plagued by white powders
And they claim to helping us to clean up our community
But ain't no open opportunities, impunity
Is what these demons use to regulate
We keep in mind we can run but we can't hide cause the streets we walk are never safe
Still all my shattered hopes and dreams remain scattered
Broken into thousands of pieces, smashed and tattered
But it don't matter, hipocrisy in your democracy
Is stopping me, so I'm retaliating properly
Theologically, society has got me pressured by the hate
And Heaven knows I have faith, I have faith
(I just wanna celebrate) --> Rare Earth
(I just wanna celebrate)
Have faith
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
[ VERSE 2 ]
Rudely awaken from this bad dream
Thinking my conscience wants to tell me something because of these bad things
(Past things) got me in the center of these mad dreams
(Flashing) homicidal ( ? ) fatal slashings
Now I'm asking: explain to me these visionaries Brad's seen
(Past things) sad things killed him cause he had dreams
(A sad scene) but all I ever wanted was my mind back
Now I'm that nigga trying to find out where his mind's at
The time that it took myself to figure out my mind's gone
My mind crack, slide back, look at all the time gone
Rewind back, comeback, understand my life gon' make these cuts that won't change
But things look so strange, the plague
I gots to get myself up out the frame
Try to maintain the same game flipping 10 and flame Jane
A damn shame, people gots to always check your background
To jack now, come jack now and I'ma leave you flat down
Come back now or back down, homie, this is always all day
(Killer) in these dark and lonely hallways
Cause all they wanna see is all us brothers boxed up in caskets
With plastic bags in every bathroom getting blasted
It's drastic, mama help me calm down cause your son's sick
Don't watch me get gunned down for the dumb shit
Then the gun click and now I see the other side of black space
My last day, sad case, Heaven knows I have faith
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
[ VERSE 3 ]
New day brings about change, everybody's searching for the light
The daydream schemes of living life
Has got us tossed up, believing we controlling our motions
Got the answer in space beside the view behind the ocean
And adapting to the everyday struggle's got us stressed
Cause the fact we know we here one day and could die the next
You've insisted to take equipment to the solar system
Trying to ensure your sole existence
Now tell me: do you think that when the bang goes boom
You can pack up all your things and aim for the moon?
It's unlikely, but you might be equipped with with proceeds to save lives
But you die when the King say die
You can race it but you can't shake it, stop trying
Try to hide it, cause you can't face it but you're born dying
God, please forgive us cause we're human not perfect
And the devil try to fronting but it's not working
How can we all sit suspended in space
Just spinning in place and ain't extended in faith
Man, wait -
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
(I just wanna celebrate)
Faith...
I don't wanna lose my faith
In all of the things that I felt so strong
I may be sleeping, but I'm holding on
I feel like life has been bleeing me
I'm not the same as I used to be
All around me is changing
The times, the words, the faces
But I know, I can't stop believing
Living in faith
I don't wanna lose my faith
In all of the things that I felt so strong
I may could be sleeping, but I'm holding on
Talking about faith
I don't wanna lose my faith
But what am I supposed to do when the feeling is gone?
The hardest thing about it, is moving on
I know somebody has got a bigger plan
I know the future is out of my hands
I'm all right with waiting and anticipating
Cause won't stop believing
Living in faith
I don't wanna lose my faith
In all of the things that I felt so strong
I may be sleeping, but I'm holding on
Talking about faith
I don't wanna lose my faith
But what am I supposed to do when the feeling is gone?
The hardest part of all it is moving on
I have been here for so long...yeah, yeah
But my faith is keeping me strong...strong
Don't stop believing in faith
I don't wanna lose my faith
In all of the things that I felt so strong
I may be sleeping, but I'm holding on
I'm talking about faith
I don't wanna lose my faith
But what am I supposed to do when the feeling is gone ?
The hardest thing about it is moving on
Don´t wanna lose my faith
I don´t wanna lose my faith
I just gotta learn to love
Never gonna lose my faith
I just need to hold on...

Verse 1:
There are times when adversity
seems to over take your life.
Doubts and fears seems to cloud your mind
and confusion's all inside.
But there's a message for you my friend
and I know this word is true,
just have the faith of a mustard seed
and there's nothing you cannot do.
Chorus:
(If you have the faith) you can move mountains.
(just keep the faith) nothing is impossible.
(hold on to your faith) you shall overcome
(according to your faith) just believe and it shall be done.
Verse 2:
Your river may seem too hard to cross
and your mountains too hard to climb,
but you conqueror your circumstance.
If you keep this thought in mind:
faith is the substance of things hoped for
and the evidence of things not seen;
if you walk by faith and not by sight,
you can realize your dream.
Chorus
Bridge:
(Faith) faith,
(faith) gotta have it.
(Faith) faith,
(faith) really need it.
(Faith) without faith it's impossible
(it's impossible to please you)
Chorus
Vamp:
Faith (3x),
I'm reaching for the prize
I'm giving everything
I give my life for this
It's what I live for
Nothing will keep me from
All that You have for me
You hold my head up high
I live for You
BRIDGE:
Greater is He that's living in me
Than he that is in the world
CHORUS:
Faith I can move the mountain
I can do all things through Christ
I know
Faith standing and believing
I can do all things through Christ
Who strengthens me
Faith is the substance of
Things hoped for
It is evidence of things
Not seen
Don't you know I
I have the faith
to conquer anything
Keep the faith
I have faith no one believes
I love a God no one can see
You put your trust into thin air
That's what they all told me
But I believed because of fear
And I can see you crystal clear
I know that you will
Meet me here
I walk the narrow path
Perplexed and befuddled
I'm persecuted
Plagued and I'm troubled
My past's my history
My future's a mystery
There's only one certain thing
And that's for sure
That's my God who is so real
He makes my life easier to deal
With the aid of his goodness
I experience true bliss
Do you understand your life
Is in his hands?
Confusion is my hat
Centrifuge of hurt
Is where I'm at
I request some help with that
My past's my history
My future's a mystery
There's only one certain thing
And that's for sure
That'S my God who is so real
He makes my life easier to deal
With the aid of his goodness
I experience true bliss
Do you understand your life
Is in his hands?
I have faith no one believes
I love a God no one can see
You put your trust into thin air
Believe in
In what I'm sayin'
It's so much harder
When it's you, who is listenin'
When I see suspicion in your eyes
You know it hurts me
It turns my head around
No words could explain
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you, somehow
Have faith
(Have faith)
Deceiving
Deceiving only you
Why should I care
When it means nothing to you?
When I see life coming closer
I turn and pray
Was it all in vain
Will my world change
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you, somehow
Have faith
(Have faith)
Ohh, pleasing you has proven to be
To be my weakest link, yeah
But if I change no place is safe
Safe from a piece of mind
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
Please have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
Please
I'm gonna prove myself true to you, somehow
Have faith
(Have faith)
You've got to have faith in me
Please
You've got to have faith in me
You've nothing left to lose
(performed by rozalla)
I see papa working nightshift
Worried by his years
Mama's got her problems but she cares
I watch my family going crazy
Telling me I'm lazy, things are going
To work out in the end
'cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
Brother's always shouting
Sister starts to cry
Another anxious moment passes by
I know that I can take it
Someday I will make it
Everything will work out in the end
'cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
Ad lib
Someday I will make it
Just you wait and see
I know that I can take it
That's how things will be
I know what I'm feeling I know I've got faith
I've just got to have it baby I've got the faith

We follow the wind to new horizons
A suitcase of dreams in our hands
An offer to take a chance at freedom
We sail out to sea with hope and madness abroad
A madness that's out of control
Living on faith we leave our homes
Here we go, oh yeah...
Turning things around, heading for new ground
And in our darkest hour oh yeah...
We're looking towards the future
We land on the shores of the unknown island
An island of beggars and thieves
Now you're left on the streets
Alone and afraid for so long
Pounding the pavement again
Your back's to the wall
You can not stand it
This life is a test
Within our body
A test of our faith
And our strength
When you remember
Pain, come no more Don't you come knockin' on my door
Love, dry your tears You have lived a life way beyond your years
And faith, when you're gone
All my demons and my devils they do me wrong
And faith, you let your light shine through
Let a ray of hope surround me
Just don't think I can make it without you
Hey faith, don't let me down
Let me know when I come back she'll be around
'Cause I've been burned, a time or two
If she left me Lord, I don't know what I'd do
And faith, when you're gone
All my demons and my devils they
do me oh so wrong
And faith, you let your light shine through
You let a ray of hope surround me
Just don't think I can make it without you
In the morning you know I wake up with the dawn
Everyday, there's a way
You know I got to carry on
To know the way and take the road of right and wrong
And keep faith in my heart
Just keep faith in your heart
Pain, come no more
Don't you come knockin' on my door
Love, please be strong
'Cause I need the peace of mind to carry on
And faith, when you're gone
All my devils, all my demons,
you know, they do me wrong
And faith, you let your light shine true
You let a ray of hope surround me
You came back home and found me
I ask myself
Where has passion gone?
I've grown up
And im too old
I don't feel like I did
I need to feel
There's nothing else
...nothing left
But your taste in my mind
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
Chorus
And you come along
To sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along
To sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
But i'm singing this song.
I feel sick
I need more than this
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
What shuts me down?
Tears me apart?
I don't know
What I am
Wheres the man?
The man with dreams
One man alone
I haven't changed a thing
Chorus
And you come along
To sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along
To sing this song
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
But i'm singing this song.
You come along to sing this song!
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
You come along to sing this song!
Restore my faith like nothing's wrong
Each moment is precious
those that I spend with you are a prize –
I count myself lucky just being alive
while you're in my eyes.
Seeing's believing and I believe in you
I can't conceal it, just what I feel for you.
Seeing's believing, I know that you'll see me through.
I believe in you
I have faith in you
I put my faith in you.
Doubt casts its shadow
on every perfect plan that is made
but I'll be beside you through those dark days –
I'll be with you come what may.
Seeing's believing and I believe in you
I can't conceal it, just what I feel for you.
Seeing's believing, I know that you'll see me through.
I believe in you
I have faith in you
I put my faith in you.
Don't let me down,
[Chorus:]
When Times Get Hard I Put My Head To The Sky Get On My Knees And Take A Deep Sigh Never Ask Why Just Believe In My Faith And Know He'll Lead Me Through Each Day I Say When Times Get Hard I Put My Head To The Sky Get On My Knees And Take A Deep Sigh Never Ask Why Just Believe In My Faith And Know He'll Lead Me Thorugh Each Day C'mon

[Chorus:]
Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh
You might lose your faith in science
You might lose your faith in wealth
You might lose your faith in Jesus, oh
Or lose faith in yourself
But when I let you down
Look past your doubt
Just please (please)
Don't lose your faith in me
You could lose your faith in music
Or lose your faith in friends
You could lose your faith in freedom
Feel trapped in your own skin
But I'll be right there beside you
(I'll be right there beside you)
When the walls are cavin' in
(I swear oh I'm not going anywhere)
But when I let you down
Look past your doubt
Just please (please)
Don't lose your faith in me
Please (please)
Don't lose your faith in me
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
I'm not going anywhere
Oh-oh-oh
I'm not going anywhere
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
I'm not going anywhere, anywhere
But when I let you down
Look past your doubt
Just please (please)
Don't lose your faith in me
Please (please)
Don't lose your faith in me
i won't care
if i must leave today
this world was mine
sometimes
moments blue
and moments true
with you
eternity is not what i am longing for
Fear, fear
Down & up, she fills the cup
With the world as we bleed
Fear after fear, the road seems to clear
The fog of doubt disappears
The shameless free, drink from the sea
Of endless opportunity
Chore after chore, the elements swore
Left a fire and feelings to pour
The senseless few, unmoved in a slew
Don't know the mystery, only the clue
Joy after joy, the infinite toy
Comes from a fertile soil
Pillion patience, amok in the storm
Feats blooms, an original form
Let faith arise, oh Lord, let faith arise
In the deepest parts of my being, oh Lord
In the most broken parts of me, oh Lord
Friends have failed me Lord, let my faith arise
Loved ones have failed me Lord, let my faith arise
Heroes have failed me Lord, let my faith arise
Let my faith arise
Let my faith arise
Let my faith arise
Let my faith arise
I say NO to the discouragement that keeps me down
I say NO to the things that keep me back from You
And this broken heart inside of me
Broken in so many pieces
By so many circumstances
I say NO to just letting it stay that way
Because I'm learning to trust that it's not You that hurt me
I'm learning to believe that it's not You that deserted me
I'm believing that You still love me
Brokenness and all
I'm believing that You've got a plan for me
I'm believing that You will restore me
I believe that You will awaken my soul
And let, let faith arise again, I believe
I believe like a little child again
I'm gonna dance in my trust in You, oh Lord
I'm gonna dance in my love for You, oh Lord
I'm gonna laugh again
I'm gonna cry again
I'm gonna have joy, joy on the inside
Circumstances around me try to pull me down
I'm going to believe in that faith again
'Cause You're my Creator
You're my Comfort
You're the One that will never desert me
So Daddy, I raise my hands up to You Lord
I raise my hands up to You, oh Lord
And I dance with my feet, I dance with my feet
And I say, come and, come and hold me Lord
'Cause I'm learning to trust You with the faith of a child
Trust You with the faith of a child
I can have joy again like a child
I'm not going to let it come down
I'm not going to let those bullets come down
Come down and hurt me no more
'Cause I'm raising up the Shield of Faith
And the Sword of the Lord
I'm believing on your Word Lord
I'm trusting in the Word that You said
And I'm waiting on You
Waiting on You
And I'm rejoicing in the fact that the Bible says
That You are my Victorious Warrior
You're the one that fights for me
I don't have to fight anymore
You're the one that fights for me, oh Lord
My faith is rising, my faith is rising, my faith is rising
I can see You again Lord.
I can see You on the horizon of my life, oh Lord
I can see Your Son, it's rising up, it's rising up, it's rising up
And I don't have to be discouraged anymore
And I don't have to fight this loneliness anymore
'Cause You're in my life, You're in my life more than anyone can ever be
Father we're building a relationship again, just me and You
We're building a relationship again, just me and You
It's not about the job I have
It's not about the friends I have
Its' not about the house I have or the social status I have
It's about me and You
We're building a relationship again, just me and You
You're building my faith up again
Hey there sad eyes.
What's on your mind?
Don't look so down.
Give it some time.
You don't have to be so hard on yourself.
I know the world can be a brutal place.
Please don't let it steal your smile away.
Cause when the sky's the darkest,
You can see the stars.
And when you fall the hardest,
You find how strong you are.
Close your eyes, rest awhile.
It's been a long long day.
So come on baby, baby have a little faith.
Let those tears fall,
You gave it your all.
It's all you can do.
I'll be here for you.
And there goes your pride,
Crushed on the ground.
Sometimes it takes a wall to tumble down,
For you to see who's gonna stick around.
Cause when the sky's the darkest,
You can see the stars.
And when you fall the hardest,
You find how strong you are.
Close your eyes, rest awhile.
It's been a long long day.
So come on baby, baby have a little faith.
Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better yeah.
And it takes so much to be brave.
Sometimes it feels like forever.
But when all the lights begin to fade.
And when the sky's the darkest,
You can see the stars.
And when you fall the hardest,
You find how strong you are.
Close your eyes, rest awhile.
It's been a long long day.
So come on baby baby.
And have a little faith.
Have a little faith.
Ooh, oh, ooh.
Have a little faith.

(Verse)
I'm feelin grouchy, saucy, hungry
Rolocini, new sex, lookin for bruised necks and blondies
Won't make em baby mommies, I just wan em to swallow me
Sometimes that be the only thing that calms me
Police be actin like Starsky and Hutch
These fucks scheming so they could charge me
Cops needs colors so they could feel bossy
You tryna get yo colors up, you think you Fonzy?
I eat a lot of fish and parsley
Green vegetables, sweet peas and broccoli
Drink a lot of water so it could wash me
My homie told me stop eatin rappers, he tryna starve me
I ain't startin trouble but pardon me
Rappers get a little hard and start actin cocky
Maury Povich need to swab me
These dudes used to be my sons like Charles Barclay
You think you Scarface? I bet the shower to you
Get rid of Tony like mellow in a maldy
Man, that's word to Gadhafi
Your war stories put me to sleep, I need some coffee
Bragging bout old work, that's beyond me
You ain't put in no work since a tardy
Man, you washed like the laundry
You a ex murderer like Ashanti
The back of the club, that's where the gods be
Being all that we could be, me and my army
They said I can't rock a party
Give me the mike, I'm a rocket, they better launch me
My music is judged harshly
Everybody making comments, they wanna blog me
Knowledge of the game they posses hardly
I call em a bunch of meatheads like Archie
Haters say they wanna stomp me
I know how to weave and bob, no Marley
Dig my way up out of a grave if I get bodied
Dug er, dug er, they better bury me under concrete
Yea, king of New York
Yea yea, I'm the king of New York
Yea yea, king of New York
Cause I'm not giving up
I'm not running away
There's nowhere left to hide
Cause I'm not going to chance
Change to suit your ways
I'd rather stand and fight
You feel your life gets turned around
You feel your world come crashing down
This is not my faith
This is not my faith
This is not the reason why I live my life
This is not my faith
This is not my faith
This is not the reason why I live my life
Treat me like you are
Cause I'm unbreakable
I've stood the test of time
Or treat me with contempt
Until the moment ends
Then find somewhere to hide
You feel your life gets turned around
You feel your world come crashing down
This is not my faith
This is not my faith
This is not the reason why I live my life
This is not my faith
This is not my faith
This is not the reason why I live my life
Building bridges from broken cars
Our salvation in the stars
Pull the blinds and close your eyes
You can't hide from this life
This is not my faith
This is not my faith
This is not the reason why I live my life
This is not my faith
This is not my faith
This is not the reason why I live my life
Take me as I am
I'm rising in this game and it feels great
Still tryna keep it real, niggas still fake
Been off the label all year, niggas still hate
Drop the marathon in December, niggas still late
I'm so impatient, but I still wait
I still show love when I feel hate
On a scale of one to ten, I need a high heel eight
Or better, blowin' this cheddar like I'm Bill Gates
Whatever
I'm in this wind til the movie ends
Smokin' California, eatin Peruvian
Out on Miami beach my niggas a few of 'em
Dressed like Beverley Hills, the bitches we usually with
But wishin on a star nigga took it far
And if I lost it all tomorrow I wouldn't trip at all
They say I'm crazy when I say it
i cry for the love in your eyes
i try to let you be free
if you're blue
don't let it worry you
you'll make it through
and if you don't believe me
faith will come humbly down
fear will come tumbling down
cynics may fill the books
critics may give you looks
but i'll stand by you 'til you die
and i'll be wise in the afterlife
(faith will come humbly down
[Intro]
Yeah, Perverted Monk representin
YouknowhatI'msayin?
[Afu-Ra]
No need for cappin this
Brave boys, I break your back with this
Practice, math this, lyrical theatrics
You'll never, ever, brave the weather, I'm too clever
Conjurin Sandstorms, I'll freeze ya, then I'll melt ya
You know I dealt the, on impact, shots hit the ceiling
These lyrics, I'm wieldin, straight echoes through the building
Enemies efforts are foreseen in the mental
I make steel wrinkle at the blink of an eye
Terminate unrighteous conscious states
Imitate the stars, while they constelate
The heart rate, of my social eloquence, makes sense
Intense, with the roughage, you couldn't budge this
mountainous, type of figure
So check it out, now you know,
when you lookin at a real nigga
[Chorus]
You know we rip it up, hit the mic like a virus
We never hide this, unique rhymes styles is righteous
Who wanna battle, which rapper thinkin they the nicest
Straight up and down, these rhyme styles is priceless
[GZA]
You eggshell niggas get cracked in half
My armed force throw a road block in your path
Beats smash, from True Mast, my shots blast
Shatter glass, crowd watch the sound sets clash
Quick fast, I let the darts off, with no doubt
Your bitch ass, you head north and break out
Snakes out, hissin, shots missin
Observe, and respect and listen
And if you get stung twice, that means he's rollin wit loaded dice
It's like gettin stabbed with ice, and watch the evidence melt
Immediately the blow is felt
Commissioner revoke the belt, the microphone
Microphone flow-er, fresh show-er
Of the rugged garments, break the bread like Noah
I'm holdin, ride the 808 rollin
Write til my hand's swollen, your no comp ya
Huh, I stomp ya, the monster
Worldwide record launcher, multiply and conquer
[Chorus 2X]
[Afu-Ra]
Nemesis, bringer of disaster
With more moves then the Tai Chi Master
Killa and I get illa, cerebral warlord
My name's Afu-Ra, step too quick, and your thought's floored
Fury portrayed, sharper than a fuckin cactus
Conquerin globes, and universes with Galactus
Tongue lashes, it rattles, never sliver
Optimus Prime, fatal bites as I deliver
Lyrically deadly, mic flow heavenly
In dwellin intelligence, choose my weaponry
Battle strategy, bishop cover angles
Knights move next, L shapes the vortex
Forces break down, now I got the nitty gritty
You think it's a stalemate, but now I'm yellin checkmate
Ultra rhymer, stop breaths like anacondas
[Chorus 2X]
You knew I wouldn't go
That's why you threatened me
Would I stay?
Said I was sick, and I'd be alone
Said my mind was not my own
I didn't learn...
You crawled up on your knees
A victim's pretty-please
Would I stay? would I stay?
And I stayed...
(how many more times)
How many more times
Till I broke down from that guilty mess?
(how many more times)
You taught me to hate to love you
That's because you love to hate yourself
I wish it had a happy end
Like the fairy tales pretend there can be
But things are not the same
When your life love was a game of make-believe
You've got everything you want
But not everything you need
And it's true...
You receive what you achieve
(how many more times)
How many screaming fights, tears of rage
Until it ended?
(how many more times)
How many more times till I say who I am
And don't pretend?
(how many more times)
How many more times
Till I broke out of that guilty mess?
(how many more times)
How many more times till I say who I am

You came to my doorstep when I was still real young you
tried to recruit me and made me speak in tongues
told me there was only one you said if I didn't pray with you I'd
go to hell and I'd better repent right now I did
as you said 'cause right then I was real scared man I just wanted
out "I want to see for myself a miracle cure a
bleeding statue the truth is surely out there but whom's in
control as destiny unfolds, believe in what you will 'cause
you're free to decide if I haven't felt it probably isn't
there my faith in science I just cannot hide, I should
exist and then so should you our ideas differ but which one is
the truth I don't need another to lead me through
I'll learn what I can until my rebirth "I want to see for myself
a miracle cure a bleeding statue the truth is surely
out there but who's in control as destiny unfolds" You want to
control the world imposing your will rejecting
rational thought what is real is not relative and untrue
Faith
show a little faith
it's all I ask of you
And wait
there's no time to waiste
oh it's all I ask of you
For the good times and the bad
Life goes by so fast
you got me worried for a moment
got me worried for a moment
and hey, faith
it's all I ask of you
And days
I still recall the days
When you and I were oh so close babe
And ways
So we often did lose our ways
I guess you never took the time
to tell me how you really felt
Through the good times and the bad
And life goes by so fast
oh you got me worried for a moment
got me worried for a moment now
hey, faith
it's all I ask of you
I guess I blamed myself
For our beautiful disaster
But when you're young
You do some stupid things
Not that you're innocent in all this
Because you truly broke my heart
I was so out of control
But you turned your back
And kept your eyes closed
And so, here we are
It would be the ultimate forgiveness
If we could put it all behind
Oh, I don't wanna get my hopes up high
I gotta have a little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
I gotta have a little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
I gotta have a little
Said baby, if we did this
It'd be the ultimate forgiveness
A little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
I can still see the look on your face
As I turned and walked away
It's a image that I wish I could erase
The moment in time that means everything
And I wish that I could take it back
Wish that I could change it
Ain't nobody ever had
My heart that can replace you
So, I'm hoping my wish will be granted
I'll be the mother of second chances
And so, here we are
It would be the ultimate forgiveness
If we could put it all behind
Oh, I don't wanna get my hopes up high
I gotta have a little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
I gotta have a little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
I gotta have a little
And baby, if we did this
It'd be the ultimate forgiveness
A little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
Turn back the hand of time
Make every wrong right
Forgive what we don't understand
Just look ahead and try again
We were just too young, we messed it up
And there will never be another
And if I held you in my arms
I swear I wouldn't let go
Gotta have a little, have a little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
I gotta have a little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
Baby, if we did this
It'd be the ultimate forgiveness
A little faith
Just a little, just a little, just a little
(Faith)
I guess I blamed myself
For our beautiful disaster
Just a little, just a little
Well, I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
Oh, but I gotta think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
Chorus:
'Coz I gotta have Faith
I gotta have... Faith
Yes, I've gotta have Faith, Faith, Faith
I gotta have Faith, Faith, Faith.
Baby, I know you're asking me to stay
Saying please, please, please don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby, I reconsider my foolish notion
Well, I need someone to hold me,
But I'll wait for something more.
Coz I gotta have Faith...
(repeat chorus)
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
(I've just got to have faith)
I've reconsidered my foolish notion
Yeah, I need someone to hold me,
But I'll wait for something more....
Coz I gotta have Faith
I've fought to stay alive
Though everything pointed to the end
Through violent storms and emptiness
I found strength I never knew I had
The strength to rise above dark clouds in the sky
The strength to hold on
When the winds tear through everything inside
I can do it all
With faith!
I've traveled unmarked roads that led me into the night
Where dreams will fade away unless you hold on to them tight
I've lost a few dreams of my own along the way
Lost but not forgotten that I will find again someday
I can do it all
With faith!
I plead for mercy God!
Hold me in your hand
Mercy in my weakest hour
When it hurts to understand
Cause I've cried tears of doubt in times of uncertainty
Tears that brought to my knees
Tears that reminded me that
I can do it all
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
'Cause I gotta have faith...
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Unholy hour of my sins
The tears I wept in the cleansing fire
A lucid light in spiteful shame
I seal the wounds from your lust and desire
I turn away
I lose identity
You run from me
Don’t you know I’m not the enemy?
When will you show me the faith?
When will you show me your conviction?
My criminal mortality
I’m fighting my fate
Alive for another day
A reckless storm that beckons me
A weapon of the night’s obscurity
Closing in on pawn and prey
Devouring the shadows of my soul
Divinity is gone from me
Forgive me now
I’m a servant of an unknown god
When will you show me the faith?
When will you show me your conviction?
My criminal mortality
I’m fighting my fate
Alive for another day
Alive for another day
Alive for another day
Divinity is gone from me
Forgive me now
I’m a servant of an unknown god
Give in to me
A sweet kiss of poison
The world is dead
Have I become your loving enemy?
When will you show me the faith?
When will you show me your conviction?
A criminal mortality
I’m fighting my fate
Well I Guess It Would Be Nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I’ve got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And i know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong girl baby
But I’m showing you the door
‘Cause I gonna have faith….
Baby
I know you’re asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don’t go away
You say I’m giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can’t help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverhoy rules-
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I’ll wait for something more
I'm in to deep
that is way I feel in need
open up your heart to me
you're surreal
faith let me linger on
faith let me linger
keep me hanging on
can we embrace
the love we face
if we let the things we fear
disappear
faith let me linger on
faith let me linger
keep me hanging on
hold on to me
there's more than you ever saw
hold on to me
yeah because I'm in too deep
Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has gotta body like me
But I gotta think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play because I play them too
Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby but I'm showin' you that door
Cuz I gotta have faith
Chorus:
Gotta have faith (3x)
Verse 2:
Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
Cuz you're givin' you the blues
Baby, you mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you pick my heart up off the floor
When our love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a stong man baby but I'm showing you that door
Chorus
I feel a wave of destiny wash over my helpless body
I can’t seem to find my way
The air is thick and foggy
What do you say, do you say to fate
What do you say, do you say to fate
All these thoughts abound my mind
I wait for rescue and for a sign
I cannot kneel, I’m out of time
I’m face to face with my insides
I felt so bound by mindless ways
As life unfolds so does my faith
I’ve burned all paths that lead to peace
Now all of them feel sympathy
I’m singled out
My soul is pinned
I’m trapped in a state of question
I try to run away
But finding an answer beckons
How do you try, do you try to live
How do you try, do you try to live
How did I get here
Don’t turn back
I’m feeling rage of a hurricane
I never thought it’d be this way
But now it is, and what to say
There’s nothing so I must escape
Now where is peace and what is fair
Should we just march without a care
And go where we are told to go
[Verse 1:]
By faith
I can get to many places
Maybe even see many faces
I mean things that are unexpected
Because of my faith I may
Have to deal with a little bit of hate
And it may seem like there's no way
That's why I gotta have my faith
[Chorus: x2]
(Faith)
I gotta have
(Faith)
Can't make it without it
(Faith)
Where I wanna be I gotta have (ohh yeah)
(Faith)
[Verse 2:]
Now without faith
Things are impossible
Like me wanting to please him
I gotta forget about them
Those that don't like me where I am
Cause then I am in jam
Tryna make a decision
Should I listen or should I go
I don't know (Faith)
That's why I gotta have(faith)
I gotta have faith (whooaahh yeaah)
[Chorus:]
(Faith)
I gotta have
(Faith)
Can't make it without it(whooaaahh)
(Faith)
[Bridge:]
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things not seen
And this explains it all
Where I am now
I may not be pleased
So I'll have to seek him diligently
And my Word says
He will reward me(Can't make it without it)
So why not have
[Chorus:]
(Faith)
I gotta have faith (yeeaaaah)
(Faith)
When my family is sick (faith) and they can't get well
(Faith)
I gotta have faith (yeeeaaaahh)
(Faith)
I gotta have faith
(Faith)
No matter what they give me or bring to my way
I gotta have faith (yeeeeeaaah)
(Faith)
I gotta have faith
(Faith)
It's the only thing that will pull me through
(yeeeeeaaahh)
Say what you wanna say
Don't think ahead or worry about the cost
Do what you wanna do
Everything is fine if you got it in your heart
I don't care about
Care what these people say
I don't care about
Care what your mother say
No matter how many miles
Or many days away
It's you, just you alone
It's you that i call home
Cause i won't be the one to fall
Won't be the one to crawl this time, yeah
I will hold you in my heart
Won't be the one to fall this time, yeah
What are you worried bout baby
What you got is what you make it
Don't worry bout the things they say love
Don't worry about the games they play cause
You are a queen inside
Every part of you is what keeps me alive
Flowing from you to me
I don't care about
Care what these people say
I don't care about
Care what your mother say
Cause i won't be the one to fall
Won't be the one to crawl this time, yeah
I will hold you in my heart
Won't be the one to fall this time, yeah
What she gives
She can take away, take away
If you open up your heart
There will be a part of you
That will never go away
I believe, if you open up your mind
There will be a time for you to up and fly away
Up and fly away
I will hold you in my heart
Won't be the one to crawl this time, yeah
I will hold you in my heart
Won't be the one to fall this time
Little girl with the big old dreams
She's got s big heart and she'll never scream
She said everything's gonna be alright, yeah
Little girl with a big old heart
She said never stop love, never stop
Everything's gonna be alright
Something rolling underneath my skin
I could not define it or invite it in though
To let it in would be to liberate
To keep it in darkness is to propagate, why
It?s all about believing through
Something that you always doubt
When you have faith, you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste
It?s never too late so try to create
?Cause the last thing that breaks, the last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks is your faith
Something shouting from behind my eyes
I'm looking too closely to recognize
To gain perspective think it would be wise
Would you please listen while it testifies now
It?s all about believing through
Something that you always doubt
When you have faith, you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste
It?s never too late so try to create
?Cause the last thing that breaks, the last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks is your faith
And I surrender to this storm
And taste the raindrops sweet and wet, and warm
And may I never lose this faith I've found
It keeps me anchored down to solid ground
So let lightening flash and wind swirl around
When you have faith, you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste
It?s never too late so try to create
?Cause the last thing that breaks, the last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks is your faith
You have faith
(You have faith, you have faith, you have faith)
You have faith
(You have faith, you have faith, you have faith)
You have faith
(You have faith)
Oh well faith is my brand new story
Its been a long fight, my heart went right out, oh won't bore you any more
Love wasn't my feeling, my type or my kind
Now being good to you is all thats on my mind
And if we make it then we'll be just fine
Maybe you'll be yours and i'll be mine
There's always mischief, oh you know the devil's always prying,
Now being good to you is all thats on my mind
Down
Yes your mind gets like a villain, make you splinter
Sing your heart off walking through some long Russian winter
Crying at the sad stories in the paper and on the news
Then i gather up the scattered blessings
To bring them back to you.
And if we make it then we'll be just fine
Be the first i've known in a long, long time.
Told my sad story to anyone who'd listen,
Now i'm in your heart, talking like Ian Dury, I'll be blissin
Praise be the hands that brought this to work now
Turn it on, switch me on
You took my hand, yes that came first
Turn it on, switch it on
I'm full of song, unrehearsed
Go on and turn it up, turn it on, turn it over
Praise be the hands that brought this to work now
Turn it on, switch it on.
Sing a song that's true
Bring it back to you,
Just sing a song it's true
Bring it back to you
Sing a song, its you, bring it back to you
Remember how to live in the dark
Still remember snowflakes in my throat
I was dragged in, who dragged me out
How was I supposed to get it through
I can still wake up frightened
Afraid of going back
God I'm so glad it's over
Who has the faith in me
I thought I had the size of the ocean
I didn't know I was just a pond
I took the keys, I took the truth
Just for going down and watch Lucifer smile
And the light was guarding me
Through the gates so open and wide for me
I could watch the flowers, I could watch the sun
These things that has been held for me so blind
And I looked at my shadow who lived in vain
I tore it apart, I threw it away
And finally I had reached the dawn
Finally I could seize the day, but
These days were covered in black
Black curtains of suicide
As I thought my time was over
My faith is my own
Popularity's the great dictator
With the masses to please
I don't want to be king for a day
If I have to give up what I can and cannot say
I will never go back to the way I was
I will never turn my back on my God
My faith is my own
My cynic's heart caged in
I shut the doors till there's nothing left to believe in
I can't see if I follow blind and
I can't speak unless I can hear my voice
Too long have I played this child's game of Simon says
My second-hand faith, I make it mine
Can we stop fearing our ignorance?
Why to guilt someone that doesn’t exist
Can we be strong enough to face reality?
Can we give a chance for science?
Their stories don’t make sense,
Then why do we have to believe!
And if we can’t express our true feelings,
Then, Is this what I’m doing a blasphemy?
Mankind makes it’s own hell or heaven
‘cause life is our eternal punishment
The things we do have consequences here on earth,
It's been a long road
getting from there to here
it's been a long time
but my time is finally near
And I can feel the change in the wind right now, nothing's in my way
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna hold me back
'Cause I've got faith of the heart
I'm going where my heart will take me
I've got faith to believe
I can do anything
I've got strength of the soul
and no one's gonna bend or brake me
I can reach any star
I've got faith (repeat 3 times)
faith of the heart.....
It's been a long night
trying to find my way
been through the darkness
now I finally have my day
And I will see my dream come alive at last
I will touch the sky
And they're not gonna hold me back no more, no they're not gonna change my mind
'Cause I 've got faith of the heart...
"I've known a wind so cold
I've seen the darkest days
but now the winds I feel
are only winds of change
I've been through the fire
and I've been through the rain
but I'll be fine
fine my friend...
Faith is the hope in things not seen you have to believe in God first to receive through faith we understand the word of God the truth to reject his words would mean death to you this is the confidence we have in him to ask anything according to his will spiritual assurance answers to prayers never to allow more than we can bare prepared you for battles and personal attacks guides you on your way and never turns his back just be a believer a promise from God the overseer by believing receiving heaven shall be home no more temptation to try to lead you wrong your faith in God was the key that set your soul free eternally all things believe what'soever you ask in prayer believing you shall receive all things believing shall receive
Inspiration's thin these days
with everyone going separarte ways
All of sudden it's hard to find the song
and still you act as if nothing's wrong
You say you don't want me to be like you
can't you see that's not the issue
you've been missing the point all around
before you listen
you've got to slowdown...
slowdown...
slowdown...
I'm talking to you and you and me
we've got to stop and see whats to see
look to yourself and see what you've got
stop trying to be something you're not
You say you don't want me to be like you
can't you see that's not the issue
missing the point all around
before you listen
you've got to slowdown...
slowdown...
You know where I stand
I've told you all before
I had my fair share
You won't hear any more
I spoke with concern,
You wouldn't let me get through
And then you're offended
'Cause I've got bettter things to do
You gave me reasons
To make my desicion to say--
No more
I gave you chances,
I've gotten no answers
I can say no more, say no more
I judge not by what you say
But rather what you do
And how you treat me
Is how I treat you
You let yourself down
Time and time again
Maybe you'll realise
The blame lies within
You gave me reasons
To make my desicions to say--
No more
I gave you chances,
I've gotten no answers
Make me wish I was smarter;
Make me wish I was stronger;
Make me think you're the only one I need.
Think maybe you can get me to play your games.
Brain wash me till I'm dumb; tell me I'm the only one, lock me away.
Think I'm safe. Safe from all civilization.
All I see are black and white windows. Can I just run away!!
I could freely escape , and run far away from you. I could tell my
heart that I'm not the one for you ! You have lost your mind
somewhere,far down this road. So now I'll run! Till I can't see you
no more.
Make me feel like I'm special; like I'm worth it.
Tell me things that aren't true. Make me bleed them. Make me
believe your voice. All the secrets you've put inside me, I can never
release.
Make me fall to my knees. All I hear are chains and shackles.
Please let me go free!
Chores
I will scream loud, but no one will hear me, I will fight till I fall down.
I will make the world see that you are,you are, you are, you are, you
are, a MONSTER! —
What kind of world is this
when I have to fight to be
why should I take chances
when there's nothing left for me
No other choice for me
I can't go on this way
No choice, No choice
No other choice for you
you've got to see things like I do
No choice, No choice
Who are we fighting for ourselves
looking out for ourselves
looking out for number one
No one make do
It's all more of the same
when will it ever change?
There's so much out there to be found
but instead of looking
you just wait around
You think this boredom
can't last forever?
If you don't know now
you won't ever
It's all more of the same
when will it ever change?
Just another sad, sad history
others told theirs before me
There's so much out there to be found
but instead of looking
you just wait around
You think think this boredom
can't last forever?
If you don't know now
you won't ever
More of the same
More of the same
Chorus-
I just can' help feeling the way I feel.
Just let me show you this love is real.
I just can't help feeling the way I feel.
The things you do to me, Boy I love you.
Verse 1-
The time has come for me to show.
Show that I care for you so.
No one makes me feel the way you do,
And I'll never let you go.
Chorus-
Verse 2-
You know my love for you is strong.
I loved you for to long.
Now it's time for you to realize,
That you'll always be in my heart.
Bridge-
And I love the things you do for me.
You give me so much joy.
Boy you know all I need is you.
You mean the world to me,
And it's plain to see,
That boy I love you.
Chorus-
Bridge-
Face to face-- in confrontation
Face to face-- no conversation
Face to face-- no limitation
Face to face-- release frustration
Face to face-- ignore distraction
Face to face-- violent reaction
Face to face-- for their action
Face to face-- destroy their faction
We're all together
In life's familiar grind
Searching for answers
Or whatever else we can find
Trying to open doors
We're told we don't exist
No time left to lose,
or change to be missed
Aware
I've got to do
Aware
What I've got to do
Aware
If it's right for me
Aware
I can't stop for you
Rebel with a cause
And do what you will
No time to waste,
No more standing still
Live your dreams
But yourself protect
You have no time to run
You sit around and talk
Behind each other's backs
The rumors get around
And you're left feeling down
All you'll ever be
trapped in your circles
I never want to be
trapped in your circles
But everytime I stop I see
I'm trapped in your circles
You think you'll be safe
Hiding behind your friends
But remember nothing's real
About the way they feel
All you'll ever be
is trapped in your circles
Never want to be
trapped in your circles
But everytime I stop I see
I thought I'd found the scene
straight edge, you know what I mean?
But to you it's just a game
Your call me friend
but you don't know my name
You're x'd
You're x'd
You're x'd
get out of my life.
How can you agree with me?
did you think i didn't see?
You drink, you fuck behind my back
You're not my friend,
I don't need your crap.
If you defend them
From time to time my ideals change
The thoughts I'm thinking rearrange
I feel different from day to day
I've had enough of nothing to say
Subject to change - what I said
subject to change - in every way
Subject to change - what I do
subject to change - and so are you
For better or worse I don't really know
Can't tell the future but my actions will show
Remember the past without any regret
You Used To Love Me
Faith
I remember the way, you used to love me
I remember the days, you used to love me
You don't appreciate the time
I put into this love affair of ours baby
I couldn't let you walk around
Thinking it's alright to let me down
1-(I remember)
I remember the way you used to love me
(Baby I remember the way)
I remember the days you used to love me
(oh you used to love me)
I gave you all my precious love
And anything you wanted from me
You didn't hear me calling out
Calling for your warm affection after all this time
You can't deny what I'm feeling is real
And I stood around, stood by your side
Went through all the hurt and pain
And you turned and walked away
(rpt 1)
Can't give up on the way you used to give it to me
Give it to me
What a feeling it's for real
(rpt 1)
You didn't hear me calling out
And that's not what love's about
I remember you used to love me
You used to love me every day
Now your love has gone away
I remember I remember
(rpt 1, 1)
(In between chorus)
Oh baby you used to walk holding my hand
Cuz you used to be my man
I remember, all the way
Didn't hear me calling out
And that's not what love's about
I remember oh oh oh, baby you used to love me
I said I remember...
rom 3:21-25, 5:1-2; joh 3:16-17
god has revealed a rightousness apart from the law
a rightousness through faith in jesus christ to all who believe
god presented jesus christ as a sacrifice trough faith in his blood
you've been bought by the precious blood of Christ
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
and are justified freely by his beautiful grace
through the redemption that came by christ jesus
you've been bought by a precious blood of christ
justified through faith
and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of god
for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world
Verse 1:
I can feel it
I can feel myself moving
Closer to a dream that's waiting for me
I know that I'll come across a bumpy path but I'll get through it x2
Chorus:
I can fly high
And I can swim right under the ocean
Anythings mine
If I have faith I kno I can do it
I will get by
If I work towards all my dreams
Suns gonna shine
If I have faith I know I can make it
Verse 2:
Lifes not ment to be safe
Aint no hard work goes unrewarded I'm sure
I am willin, I am able I'm ready
For watever that may come my way
There's no doubt that I will get there I'm certain
Nothings imposible
With dedication, Motivation desperation
We were all born to shine
And right nows my time
To give out a little light
Of my own
And shine it on the world
Chrous:
I can fly high
And I can swim right under the ocean
Anythings mine
If I have faith I kno I can do it
I will get by
If I work towards all my dreams
Suns gonna shine
If I have faith I know I can make it
All I need is faith
All I need is faith
All I need is faith
All I need is faith
Chorus:
I can fly high
And I can swim right under the ocean
Anythings mine
If I have faith I kno I can do it
I will get by
If I work towards all my dreams
Suns gonna shine
Well I've wasted all my mind
Thinking all this time that it'd be perfect
Well I fell into reality seeing things that I didn't
I worry about things I can't control
and I'm loosing my mind trying to let them go
CHORUS:
I was saying that your faith is all that I need
I was saying that your faith is my, my everything
Now I'm floating on the notion
it's been throwing my emotions
on the feelings I'm approaching
yeah
Well I've read between the lines
it's like looking through closed blinds
in this melodic frame of my mind
CHORUS
What's this I am sensing
better relieve some of this tension
in the things I try to mention
yeah
That saying that says you got nothing to lose
is just, my friend, an expression to you
CHORUS
Now I'm floating on the notion
it's been throwing my emotions
on the feelings I'm approaching
yeah
Now I've read between the lines
it's like looking through closed blinds
in this melodic frame of my mind
of my mind, yeah
I was saying that your faith is all that I need
I was saying that your faith is my, my everything
take it now
take it all
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I got what you want
I got what you need
yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I got faith
Stormy sky over my head
I can feel the glory
Looking in trough the window
With the eyes of my soul
I can see dimensions
I close my eyes
and I`m not here anymore
Thousands of demons
trying to shake my mind
I`ll never lose my faith in You
You are the King of Light
I believe in You
I turn my face to the darkness
where I belong
Like a candle in the night
I have the power in my hands
They can never hurt me
I`m the chosen one
not weak anymore
I will do this all for You
You changed my destiny
You are with me
It`s storming
It`s raining
And you feel cold inside
You`re flying
away from yesterday
I`m waiting
Returning
I wish you open your eyes
This blackness
around you
in the name of god they maim and slay
every non-believer questioning their faith
a conviction so inborn beyond common sense
is there a cure for this ignorance?
you have your god
an image of yourself
in this holy war
that sends us all to hell
"love your neighbour, turn the other cheek"
or isn't global peace what you seek?
just open up and see
paradise won't come so easily
in the name of god they indoctrinate
each and every one of you who's in need of faith
a conviction so inborn beyond common sense
looks like the sword is mightier than the pen
you have your god
an image of yourself
in this holy war
that sends us all to hell
"love your neighbour, turn the other cheek"
or isn't global peace what you seek?
just open up and see
paradise won't come so easily
in the name of who do you obey?
nothing changes if you're on your knees to pray
forget the cross - time to act intelligent
no need for gods, nothing's heaven-sent
you have your god
an image of yourself
in this holy war
that sends us all to hell
"love your neighbour, turn the other cheek"
or isn't global peace what you seek?
just open up and see
paradise won't come so easily
I entrust my will to you
Love is lost kizutsuke au you ni
The desire fires it on
Kanashii sekai wa rensa suru
Worshipping an image
All people should be equal,
We are all God's children
Never try to judge your enemy
I will climb that hill in time - for truth
And I will bear the cross upon my back
I entrust my will to you - meaning of love
To one who understands, I'm satisfied
Koboreru onaji chi
Without feeling sorry for me
Mabushii hikari wo kanjiru
Because I go to Him
You must love each other,
As I love each one of you
Come, walk in my footsteps
I will climb that hill in time - for truth
And I will bear the cross upon my back
I entrust my will to you - in your hearts
I see a future that is full of calm,
It guides me on
To you I entrust my will
I see a future that is full of calm
In you my will lives on
Carried down through time
My will lives on
Carried down through time
My will lives on
Carried down through time
My will lives on
a bucket full of shit
in the corner of your darkest hours
you face your enemy
face to face
eye for an eye
to be or not to be
that is the question
but even if you win the battle
you will lose the war
all you've got is just an illusion
and you can't live through this
just by saving the day
it takes you an entire scripture
just to tell us 'bout few
but you don't have the courage
to handle everything with care
you don't need a muscle
just a place to stay
if the world is HEAVEN
why does most of it
look like HELL?
go on and
kill it
you're always looking for more
you will never understand
that there is no score
break all there is
just to destroy your dreams
confront all of your fears
to be more than nothing
there is no time for you after all
go on and just pretend to fall
good or bad
everybody wants to be a hero
keep on pretending that you've got
the power
you will destroy it in 3, 2, 1
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hope
I can't just carry on this way
And every time
I turn away
Lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me...
Suddenly I see you change
Everything at once
The same
But the mountain never moves...
Rape me like a child
Christened in blood
Painted like an unknown saint
There's nothing left but hope...
Your voice is dead
And old
And always empty
Trust in me through closing years
Perfect moments wait...
If only we could stay
Please
Say the right words
Or cry like the stone white cloud
And stand
Lost forever in a happy crowd...
No-one lifts their hands
No-one lifts their eyes
Justified with empty words
The party just gets better and better...
I went away alone
With nothing left
when I'm sad when all is quiet
when I have a shitty day
I realize I have nothing
And I feel so insane
I feel so insane
when I need a friend to help me
but I’ve got shitty friends
I realize I have nothing
I talk to myself
I talk to myself
I need faith I need faith
And all sorrows will go away, away
O o o o h
You’re my salvation
I need faith I need faith to survive
I need faith like a ray of light
I’ve got faith I’ve got faith in my life
By the faith I can survive
Thanks to you my star shines
And my sky is clear today
Thanks to you I smile back
I’m no longer the same
I’m no longer the same
Thanks to you I just feel
AT peace with myself
I know what this means
And I pray
I pray that it never ends
I need faith I need faith
And all sorrows will go away, away
O o o o h
You’re my salvation
I need faith I need faith to survive
I need faith like a ray of light
I’ve got faith I’ve got faith in my life
By the faith I can survive
Faith, faith
And all sorrows will go away
O o o o H
You’re my salvation
You’re my direction
I see Papa working nightshift
Worried by his years
Mama's got her problems but she cares
I watch my family going crazy
Telling me I'm lazy, things are going
To work out in the end
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
Brother's always shouting
Sister starts to cry
Another anxious moment passes by
I know that I can take it
Someday I will make it
Everything will work out in the end
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
'Cause you've got to have faith
In the power of love
Someday I will make it
Just you wait and see
I know that I can take it
That's how things will be
I know what I'm feeling I know I've got faith
With nothing to say,
We're ghosts that occupy a space,
Barely here
We're starting to trust,
The hurt is spilling out of us,
Through the tears
The fragile affair,
It's turning into solitaire,
We're full of fair
We need to adjust,
We're losing every part of us,
We disappear
Faith, where have you gone?
Was it me that made it all wrong?
Faith, where have you gone?
I thought I knew where I belong
Faith, where have you gone?
Where do I start so I can go on?
Faith, where have you gone?
Lord, give me faith so I can be strong
Remember our lives,
When we were never out of time?
Our devise
Like stars in the night,
We'd shimmer from the greatest height,
Two satellites
But look at us now,
We're bruising like a stormy cloud,
We've compromised
All that we vowed
Has tumbled lika a crown
From you and I
Faith, where have you gone?
Was it me that made it all wrong?
Faith, where have you gone?
I thought I knew where I belong
Faith, where have you gone?
Where do I start so I can go on?
Faith, where have you gone?
Lord, give me faith so I can be strong
Love needs so much faith
Faith, where have you gone?
Was it me that made it all wrong?
Faith, where have you gone?
Where do I start so I can go on?
Faith, where have you gone?
Lord, give me faith so I can be strong
Faith has no meaning
On the shores of mediocrity
Oh can't you see
That your faith is meant to falter
In the depths of hell
Oh can't you tell
That when the keys of the palace are denied
Their worth is justly tried
And yes, you do mean something to me
And I will fight to the death until you are free
And the race is finally won
United together as one
Well I guess it would be nice
if I could touch your body
I know not everybody
has got a body like you
but I've got to think twice
before I give my heart away
and I know all the games you play
because I play them too
oh but I
need some time off from that emotion
time to pick my heart up off the floor
and when that love comes down
without devotion
well it takes a strong man baby
but I'm showing you the door
'cause I've gotta have faith (3x)
baby
I know you're asking me to stay
say please please please don't go away
you say I'm giving you the blues
maybe
you mean every word you say
can't help but think of yesterday
and another one who tied me down to
loverboy rules
before this river becomes an ocean
before you throw my heart back on the floor
oh baby I need reconsider
my foolish notion
well I need someone to hold me
but I'll wait for something more
yes I've gotta have faith...(3x)
I try to spend as much time as I can alone
Although I'm not against learning a thing or two from you
The wide, wide sound of life gripping and letting go
I listen to my voice to reassure my own
And I try to hold on and I try to rise above
And I try to hard sometimes faith is not enough
But faith's the only saving grace I face
Everything's in its place, everything's in its place
If only you could only speak the truth
Tell me, can you tell me what that would make of you?
No one seems to find the secrets hid between the walls
What more can I say about you not catching my fall
And I try to hold on and I try to rise above
And I try to hard sometimes faith is not enough
But faith's the only saving grace I face
Everything's in its place, everything's in its place
Everything's in its place
It seems to me we hold the rope together
The other blames the other for the pulling out
And I try to hold on and I try to rise above
And I try to hard sometimes faith is not enough
But faith's the only saving grace I face
Everything's in its place, everything's in its place
Listen baby, take a seat, have a drink, it's on me
We've been deep, in the trenches, you never love me
Cheers to you, you're the shit, no one better than you
A toast to you love, I'm ok, but with you, I'm perfection
You never lost faith in me
You never lost faith in me, yeah
Have your way, yeah, have your way, yeah
Have your way, yeah, aha, yeah
Have your way, not gonna lie, I owe you everything
Couldn't made it, in my life if you wouldn't have stayed
Cheers to you, you're the shit, no one better than you
A toast to you love, I'm ok, but with you, I'm perfection
You never lost faith in me
You never lost faith in me, yeah
You never lost faith in me, yeah
You never lost faith in me, yeah, yeah
Have your way, have your way, have your way
Have your way, have your way, have your way
Have your way, have your way, have your way
You never lost faith in me
You never lost faith in me,
You never lost faith in me, yeah
You never lost faith in me, yeah, yeah
Have your way, have your way, have your way
Have your way, have your way, have your way
Some say you're on the wrong way
Just don't care about it
Go on straight
And never loose your faith
Some say what you gotta do
What to believe in
What is bad, what is good
But never loose your faith in yourself
Never give up, never run away
Never bow, never hide away
Live your life
Be what you wanna be
Learning by living is what you're trying to do
The shit that happens is just a lesson for you
But never loose your faith in yourself
Never give up, never run away
Never bow, never hide away
Live your life
[Verse 1]
Make way for the new comer
I'm what this shit needs my nigga exclude plumbers
I invented the deal doing a few numbers
Kill June through August make it a cruel summer
The foundation my audio's diary
I got drive nigga can't you hear the tightest grip
Why be them when there's apparent I admire me
Real talking droppin' new tape for the entire week
Motherfucker that's work ethic
Motherfuckers ain't fucking with my worse efforts
It's game time all I know is outplay 'em
But I don't mention money 'cause that goes without
saying
Multitask count money past indoor
I swear we the shit somebody crack a window
Somebody tell these niggas what they in for
I'm really real what the fuck would I pretend for
[Hook]
My hands to the sky my feet on the pavement
When I asked the Lord why I swear it's like he never
say shit
But once I give you more time that's when it all makes
sense
So I vowed to never lose faith 'cause there ain't a
problem that He can't fix
[Verse 2]
Money and respect is what I'm out to get
Alot of niggas claiming summer but I doubt this shit
Been in a lab experiment young alchemist
The outcome is the tape sounded quite albumish
My mind's clear the pope and his blown
By displaying work ethic devotion is shown
Around this time nigga she I hope you be on
And don't compare me to these niggas that's locally
known
I witnessed the effect that my music have
And ever since that very moment my focus has grown
Hard work and had that money coming in
A nigga hates to lose more than I let her win
Oh you running shit, come again
You should quit running your mouth bitch and run it
then
In the process of doing it don't overdo it
What's the purpose of a dream if you don't go pursue it
[Hook]
My hands to the sky my feet on the pavement
When I asked the Lord why I swear it's like he never
say shit
But once I give you more time that's when it all makes
sense
So I vowed to never lose faith 'cause there ain't a
problem that He can't fix
[Verse 3]
My future's bright 'cause my past was darker
I'm cherising this life and all it has to offer
Another writer who excel in the class of authors
And that wall shit I had to give up my back up offer
But believe it with my back against the wall
I'm still creating up music you can actually applaud
Niggas be wanting features but that has to be a cause
In acces hurt in my shit so it don't have to see a blog
The blessings coming at a fast pace
I trust the goddess and the Lord to never lack faith
Going hard 'til it's nothing in my casket
Overly dedicated till I've surpassed great
And the same is famous in the diction
And for some I need to fix it hard to stop like bad
break
I'm getting high on life, minus the kush blunts to
occupy my ashtray
[Hook]
My hands to the sky my feet on the pavement
When I asked the Lord why I swear it's like he never
say shit
But once I give you more time that's when it all makes
sense
So I vowed to never lose faith 'cause there ain't a
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh but I
Need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
And when that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you the door
'Cause I gotta have faith...
Baby
I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
You say I'm giving you the blues
Maybe
You mean every word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy rules
Before this river
Becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
Oh baby I reconsider
My foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me
But I'll wait for something more
Who knows what this life is for?
Every question leads to more
Only one thing frees my mind
Only one thing sees that's blind
Faith, faith in what I can't explain
Faith, knowing sun will follow rain
Faith, still believing love is new
Faith is what I have in you
Faith, faith in what I can't define
Faith, trusting in this heart of mine
Faith, knowing what this world can be
Faith is what you give to me
Never have to wonder why
I don't even have to try
Faith will always lead the way
And it's stronger every day
Faith, faith in what I can't explain
Faith, knowing sun will follow rain
Faith, still believing love is new
Faith is what I have in you
Faith, faith in what I can't define
Faith, trusting in this heart of mine
Faith, knowing what this world can be
Faith is what you give to me
Holding onto something real
Something I can really feel
No more room for any doubt
That's what faith is all about
Faith, faith in what I can't explain
Faith, knowing sun will follow rain
Faith, still believing love is new
Faith is what I have in you
Faith, faith in what I can't define
Faith, trusting in this heart of mine
Faith, knowing what this world can be
Truth like poison
Lies like wine
Goes down easy
Most of the time
Words are weapons
Violent is life
So easy to believe
When you're holding the knife
Hate so perfect
This broken vow
I should have learned
My lesson by now
Blind like Adam
Hungry like Eve
The serpent is calling
I want to believe
You are the cross I choose to bear
You are the crown of thorns I wear
You nail me up and leave me hanging here
You whisper sweet lies in my ear
I die of thirst in the endless sea
You swear you'll make it up to me
And I almost believe you
I almost believe you
Like the morning after
Like the unspoken fear
It's the distance between
Even when you're here
Best of intentions
Or so you say
No wonder it's always
Been this way
Blind like faith
These moments of doubt
Opened my eyes
Sometimes I
feel inside
ripping pain burning fire
imperfect heart in agony
(oh God)
I'm a lost soul how could I live
Always I
deep inside
incline my heart to call to You God
beg you for faith hope and love
(holy God)
but what You'll say thus must be done
Mighty God
watch my heart
dying one cure with light
imperfect mind and greedy eye
(Only God)
Phone won't ring when you sit by it waiting
Toast don't pop when you're watching the clock
We could be waiting on a sign
Until the end of time
And there's still no guarantee
Of it making sense to anyone
All we need's a little faith
Now we can question ourselves
Every book on every shelf
We can run a marathon
And still be where we started from
Roll with the punches
Swim with the tide
Even an angel
Can get taken for a ride
All we need's a little faith
I tell myself time and time again
Somedays I am stronger
Some days go for ever
There's always heart while the dream is there
You have to let it come through
It's better when it finds you
Phone won't ring when you sit by it waiting
Toast don't pop when you're watching the clock
We can only do
Whatever can be done
We all eventually
Take our place beside the sun
What have you done
Headed down to nightfall
Dirty rain on broken road
Never found any comfort
Hear me SOS
Well I'm a slave to this world
Got stuck in a blues
"Cry baby cry"
it's hard to learn the truth
You got nothing to win
But there's everything to lose
Hear me SOS
Give me faith
Give me, give me faith
What have you done
Headed down to nightfall
Dirty rain on broken road
So far, so far from home
