Lyrics
I've always felt there's something more for me
20 years of sweatin, pain and misery
I'm not sayin' I've never cut loose
had more'n my share of the jungle juice
I've been popular one night at a time
lot's of women but not one of em mine
workin hard and playin harder still
twenty odd years of feeling unfulfilled
Pre chorus
I knew I had
to make a change
priorities
got rearranged
Chorus
I asked the man upstairs
prove to me you're really there
I'll believe for all my days
you want me to keep the faith
keep the faith,
keep the faith
Verse 2
I meant what I said and I keep my word
and I got no doubts that the good lord heard
call it cruel or call it irony
next thing that happened proved it all to me
right next door moved a vision of perfection
girl so hot I had instant reflection
I had asked for proof and there she was
but I could never touch her just because
I just had
made a change
priorities
got rearranged
Chorus
I told the man upstairs
you made your point up there
I'll believe for all my days
you want me to keep the faith
how was I gonna keep the faith?
Bridge
If you didn't know the lord's funny then you must not know him well
cuz that little piece of heaven next door's puttin me through hellllll....
Verse 3
when I swore forever maybe I was wrong
never been that patient never been that strong
never faced anything so hard to resist
never been in love with a girl I never kissed
I guess love works in mysterious ways
she's looked at me with something to say
she walked right up and whispered in my ear
my name's Faith and I've waited twenty years
you just had
to make a change
priorities
got rearranged
DUET
when I asked the man upstairs
to prove to me he's really there
I'll believe for all my days
that He want us to keep the faith
together we would keep the faith
