Faith

Lyrics

Well, I'm digging around in the sand
 Lost in the wilderness, just looking for a hand
 I've got seed that I must sow
 Great mystery up in the sky
 Lookin' down upon me with your millions of eyes
 Come on, there are things I need to know
 'Cause I've danced with religion, I tried to make friends
 But those seven days I could not make amends with
 And watched the kingdoms crumble as they grow
 Well, I'm just looking for some faith
 To get me through tomorrow with just a little grace
 In this ole crazy world we live
 Sometimes it's like a life raft and other times leaks like a sieve
 Don't ask me why
 I brought the picks and I got the spades
 I got some dynamite, I even brought grenades
 Come on, let's dig ourselves into a great big hole
 Dig deep enough, maybe we'll reach Beijing
 When we arrive I'll hit the streets and I'll ask for the King
 Taking care of business on the south side
 Or so I've been told
 And when I see him, I'll say, "Hey, you!
 What happened to your blue suede shoes?
 And can you tell me where I hid all my gold?"
 'Cause I'm just looking for some faith
 To get me through tomorrow with just a little grace
 In this ole crazy world we live
 Sometimes it's like a life raft and other times leaks like a sieve
 And when it all comes crumbling down
 Help me drop an anchor to keep my roots there on the ground
 'Cause peace of mind is all I need to unwind
 All these tangled knots inside
 I'm on my knees, I'm crying, and
 Tell me I'm not alone
 Alone
 Well, I've gone within and I've gone without
 I know my greatest sins are all of my doubts
 And all the fear that corrodes my soul
 And I do know I'm a long time dead
 And my papa said, "You make your bed
 And leave all behind unbroken as you roam"
 And then you'll find your faith
 To get you through tomorrow with just a little grace
 In this ole crazy world we live
 Sometimes it's like a life raft and other times leaks like a sieve
 And when it all comes crumbling down
 Help me drop an anchor to keep my roots there on the ground
 In this ole crazy world we live
 Sometimes it's like a life raft and other times leaks like a sieve
 Peace of mind is all I need to unwind
 All these tangled knots inside
 I'm on my knees, I'm crying, and
 Tell me I'm not alone
 Tell me I'm not alone
 Tell me I'm not alone
 They keep on telling me
 No, you're not alone
 They keep on telling me
 No, you're not alone
 They keep on telling me
 No, you're not alone
