Faith, faith eludes my common ways

And trust I hear

Is increasingly hard to save inside

It’s harder still to keep alive

Today

 

But I read the books

I hear the talk

I watch the lives

And I can’t find the answer

It’s like a live my days

as a spectator

in the sport of life

without any conviction

 

And I have the need to know

 

Truth, is that there’s little truth today

And sheltered warmth

Is hidden well by shielding cold

It makes me question what I’m told

From you

 

And I watched a boy

Give in to Mrs Jones 

give in to Mr Jones

and he gave in to anger

And the baggage ago

Is the baggage at hand

What was thought was gone

Has proven still to linger

 

And I have the need to know

I have the need to know

 

Love, can drain the truth and faith away

You see it’s very difficult with love

To look at life objectively

But love’s been know to rescue me

From pain

 

But I read the books

I hear the talk

I watch the lives

And I can’t find the answer

It’s like a live my days

as a spectator

in the sport of life

without any convictions

 

And I have the need to know

I have the need to know

I have the need to know

I have no need to know

The need to know
