Faith

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 uh

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 a

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 a

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

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
