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
Singing this song

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
And don't pretend?

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 darker
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
That'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 is darkest
You can see the stars
Cause when you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are

Close your eyes, rest awhile
It's been a long, long, long, day
So come on baby, baby
Have a little faith

Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better
And it takes too much to be brave
Sometimes you're afraid it'll hurt forever
But when all the lights begin to fade

Cause when the sky is darkest
You can see the stars
Cause when you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are

Close your eyes, and rest awhile
It's been a long, long day
So come on baby, baby
Come on baby, baby
Have a little faith

Have little faith,
Ooooh
Have a little faith
Have a little faith

[lyrics fixed by me]

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 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
Oh 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...
Mmm, I gotta have faith
'Cause I got to have faith, faith,
I got to have faith-a-faith-a-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 huh
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

Yes I've gotta have faith...
Mmm, I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith,
I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-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

'Cause I've gotta have faith...
Mmm, I gotta have faith
'Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith,
I gotta have faith-a-faith-a-faith
(return to top)

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
fear will come tumbling down) [x3]

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

Nothing will keep me from.. All that you have for me

Faith.. Standing and believing I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

I gotta have faith -repeat x4

am i freak in the darkness, or am i misfit
you speak of opinions
do sink in so deep
but it's alright
you're just an illusion, confused by your narrow mind
reality is up ahead in the distance
but that lack of persistence has left you behind
now you're reaching for your sanity
cuz you afraid of me
so don't fuck with me
you wanna ask me a question
well, i gotta question
how much longer can i tolerate this shit
egos trip when you're livin' on the flip side
drop out of a uterous and god damn
i see you pointin' your finger
you stereotype me cuz you don't like me
well you don't even know me
punk _you don't know me

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

Just take me as I am... so please... have faith ! have faith !

So don't be afraid... to feel this way...

Believe in
In what I'm saying
It's so much harder
When it's you who is listening
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
nothing left to lose
You've got to have faith in me
nothing left to lose
I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow
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

Oh pleasing you has proven to be
To be my weakest link yeh
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
I'm gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith
You've got to have faith in me

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 forever
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

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
But faith

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body

Not you, sire.

I know not everybody
Has got a body like you

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

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
I know that when i call you'll come home
