Eric Matthew Wells - The Faith To Get You By

Empty streets so gray and bleak echo days of old
Old lady stands defiantly against the piercing cold
How much longer until she finds freedom and a peace of mind
Shotgun barrel, the face of crime, stare her down through the halls of time
Young man comes and they stand as one
There's no more biding gotta make a run
In every hearts there's a great divide that
Hides a person's empty side
Can you find the faith to get you by
Daddy's girl left home today says she's got to make her way
Amidst the tears of passing years her mother bows down her head and prays
My how days just pass you by things'll change and you wonder why
She can't see ahead or look behind afraid to discover what she might find
Grabs her bag and walks down the road
Trying to uncover her own code
Power me with your love
Power me with your love
Power me with your love
With your love
Shine on me with your love
Shine on me with your love
Shine on me with your love
With your love
Spent a few years in a six foot cell one I helped to build myself
I'd hide and lock myself inside so much to say but afraid to tell
Get so high and I get so low so many dreams but don't know where to go
Open your heart and then you'll be open to all you truly need
From dawn to dusk and dusk thru night
We make our way try to make things right
Ohhhhahh Ahhhhhhhoohhhh Ahhhhhhahhohhh
Ohhhhahh Ahhhhhhhoohhhh Ahhhhhhahhohhh
