lyrics

THE FAITH SONG

I’ve got to enjoy myself
To employ myself with a little more respect
Oh yes, gonna work it out, and jerk it out
And drive it from my head

I’ve gotta stop messing up and stressing up
When things get out of hand
Try not to expect too much, or reject too much
Just do the best I can

‘Cause when the sun is shining
You’ve got to save it in your heart
For when the sky is falling

I’ve got to believe myself
Not to cheat myself of the possibilities
Not underestimate, but appreciate my true abilities

You need a good foundation
You need that faith within yourself
To find your true vocation

And while the fire is burning
You’ve got to keep that flame alive
For every last tomorrow
You’ve got to keep that flame alive
‘Cause when the sun is shining
You’ve got to save it in your heart
For when the sky is falling
