All this pain surrounding me; hopelessness is all that I see now

Does it have to be this way?

Brought up on hypocrisy

The seeds they sow don't last forever

They just fade away



Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers

Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive



We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith

We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith



Take away my dignity

Take away my hope and my freedom

You got a world full of rage

Don't cover me with apathy

Don't buy and sell what I believe in

Don't lock me in a cage



Just reach out your hand, and I'll give you mine.



We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith

We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith



Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers

Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive



We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith

We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith

We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith

It's yours to choose but only fools refuse the gift of faith.
