I HAVE FAITH
(J. Wilson, T. Lee & P. Joseph)
© Tartan Raggamuffin Publishing/Papertown Songs (1993)

When the race you've been running has started without you
The problem you have has suddenly become two
The people all around you just can't relate,
You tried so hard but you just can't escape
When the fields that you covered were all covered in pain
And the truths that you found all riddled in disdain
You're life makes no sense and it's hardly fair
When you've been fooled into believing that somebody cares

The time comes when you need a break,
there's nothing left inside your heart –
Oh wild horse don't change for another,
shut up because I have faith

The sight of your face in the mirror makes you blue
What's now ragged and old once was happy and new
All your neighbours have no time they're always on the run
So you slow down a little 'cause your not having fun
You slow down you're past, there's smoke in your trail
Try to make out who's past you and why you have failed
But no one but you can see all that far
And no one but you can wear your battle scars

Your dreams have lost their colours they're all black and white
There are things you stand up for you don't want to fight
Time wins again, hands down again –
but you can't win it back 'cause the piper's been paid

Oh, oh, oh my dear, I've been waiting here
Can you feel it just a little, you've forgotten 'bout the love we had
