having despaired ~ never gonna break my faith
Edited on Thu Apr-26-07 07:51 AM by wildhorses
lately, i have had trouble believing that a change is gonna come then, last night i saw the movie, bobby (finally.) upon hearing this song, i felt that yes, i can go on fighting the good fight. it is very spiritual (some might say religious) but, i cherish strength from where ever it comes.
so, i post this for all of us that have been seeking solace and the will to go on. may you find some comfort.

My Lord
I have read this book so many times
But nowhere can i find the page
that change what i experience today

Now i Know that life is meant to be hard
thats how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you I won't hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side.

You can lie to a child with a smilin' face
Tell me that color ain't about race
You can cast the first stones you can break my bones
But your never gonna break, Your never gonna break my Faith

Faith and Hope aint yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to Live
You can steal a crown from a king
Break an angels wings
But your never gonna break, Your never gonna break my Faith

My Lord
Won't you help them to understand
that when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they never really Won because all they've really done
is set the Soul Free where it's supposed to be

For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When his will, His will, will be done
