The Faith Song
Faith in tables, faith in chairs
Faith in landings, faith in stairs
Faith in aeroplanes and cars
Faith in skyscrapers on Mars
Faith in fossil fuels and booze
Faith in stuff that we can use
Faith in sunsets, faith in dawn
Faith in true love, faith in porn
Faith in every gigabyte
That flickers in and out of sight
While all creation burps and stirs
In this man-made universe
Faith in coffee, faith in milk
Faith in cotton, faith in silk
Faith in paper, pens and ink
Faith in the liberty to think
Faith in passion, faith in peace
Faith in thank you, faith in please
Faith in magic, faith in songs
Faith in righting countless wrongs
Faith in winter, faith in spring
Faith in every goddam thing
That grunts or shrieks, whines or purrs
In this man-made universe
Faith in free men, faith in slaves
Faith in particles and waves
Faith in secrets, faith in truth
Faith in old age, faith in youth
Faith in business, faith in greed
Faith in everything we need
Faith in forests, faith in streets (Faith, faith)
Faith in candy, faith in treats (Faith, faith)
Faith in monsters, faith in beasts (Faith, faith)
Faith in carnivals and feasts (Faith, faith)
Faith in houses, faith in lawns (Faith, faith)
Faith in midgets, faith in foreign
Faith in space and faith in time
Faith in virtue, faith in crime
Faith in laughter, faith in grief
Faith in suspension of belief
In every boundary that blurs
In this man-made universe
(And you got faith and you got faith, yeah faith)
Amen
