Her
name was faith but it didn’t apply
To what she said or did or ever felt inside
She grew up trusting no one and with good reason
From day one she was traded for freedom
Sadly her mother didn’t understand
Couldn’t give up her life so she searched for a hand
To take the place of who she should have been
Later gave her to a home that would take her in
Didn’t realize the love she hadn’t shown
Was just the beginning of untrust of the unknown
CHORUS
Faith babe you gotta learn there’s love outside
You gotta let yourself go, let go of your foolish pride
It’s hard to make yourself feel when alienation’s
all you’ve ever known
But faith is your name babe and life is a lonely road to walk
alone
It just so happens the ones that took her in
Were in it for the money continue the sin
Eighteen emancipated that day
She chose to live life her own way
She loved and lost and let a few good ones go
Irony of her name only she would know
Given up on life, years of given out on love
Then came a message form above
At church house heard the preacher scream her name
She fell down on her knees and she prayed in shame
(Chorus)
She decided then to let the whole world in
She can’t give up on life, not for someone else’s
sin
She left that church free of suffering and strife
But didn’t see that truck rounding the corner that would
take her life
Her body laid outside the church for all to see
Blood red from her cold, cold lips trickled purity
A life of doubt Faith lived ‘til she was graved
The day of her death was the day she was saved |
