Lyrics: Keep a little Faith
Find peace of mind in a lovers
Smile now it’s time for some comfort
Gotta keep believing you can find a new beginning
Though you never planned it you can understand its meaning
Feel morning sun like a mothers
Love, more than one, there’s room for others
Though your feeling beaten,
when you’re down you’re not defeated
Gotta see a new day dawn and try to greet it
Hoping you’ll come around again
With feet on the solid ground
Even when it all seems lost my friend
Never ever let them take you down
Breathe, breathe in deep, time for rising
Up once again to a new horizon
Gotta keep believing you can find a new beginning
Though you never planned it you can understand its meaning
And when you find that final release
The wind’s gonna take you up again
Keep a little faith, keep a little faith
Keep a little faith, keep a little faith
