Story Behind The Song

Having faith and not giving up

Lyrics

Faith

I recall my younger days, laying lonely in my bed
And the dreams who I'll become, growing stronger in my head
And I'd wake every morning, with the willingness to fight
But the world just beats you down, as your future gets less bright

But the years just roll on by, spent and weary to the bone
Trying to wear the scars of life, forge a path to call my own
No one's taking me alive, and of this I have no doubt
There's a beast that lives inside me, and it stands so strong and proud
Yeah, shout if you believe it, yeah shout if you believe it, say it loud

Chorus
Faith - When you're down and they count you out keep your
Faith - When the compass points the wrong way you need
Faith - When the tears start to pile on
Yes you'll be alright, Yes you'll be alright
Faith - Put your trust in your life's journey you'll find
Faith- Follow the light in the unknown and you'll find
Faith - Then the path becomes so clear
And you'll be alright, and you'll be alright

I'm not ready to be broken, I'll restore my broken self
If it takes a hundred years, and if I get put through all hell
I will dig down deep inside me, and get up after each fall
Cause the strength that comes within, knowing I rose above it all

Bridge
I'm not trying to persuade or convince you
I gotta say I'm not really trying to preach
But there's a serenity on the other side that I just know that I must reach
I stared into the abyss way too many times
But I won't let fear take a hold on me
And the peace I finally discovered will dictate who I want to be

Repeat Chorus
