Faith - Beady Belle

Faith is such a hard bone to achieve

And that easy to lose

I’m no longer sure what to believe

Or what to decide or choose

The more lucky and blessed I feel on Earth

The more respect for the sacred

The more I loathe in mundane pleasures

The more my prayers sound faked

This is my body and soul

And they both need fuel to shine

But I’m blinded by the glare

And dazzled by the light

So it’s hard to find my own line

Faith

Can detain

Faith

Can slake your thirst

But you gotta believe in what you’re drinking first

What if the flesh is willing while the spirit’s weak

What would I then prefer

If the triumph of mind over matters all

To speak and the ending fades to a blur

What do I really have if I lose my soul

Will my appetite be oppressed

If there no longer is a final goal

Will I respect the process

This is my body and soul

And they both need fuel to shine

But I’m blinded by the glare

And dazzled by the light

So it’s hard to find my own line

Faith

Can be tamed

Faith

Can explain

Faith

Faith

Can slake your thirst

But you gotta believe in what you’re drinking first
