A single mother with two children make lunches in the mornin'

And on her way to work, she drops ‘em off at school

And tells them, faith in me, faith in you

A farmer kneels in his fields with dust pourin' through his fingers

Says I'm gonna lose you if it don't rain real soon

He looks up and says, faith in me, faith in you



[CHORUS] 



Oh! Oh! I have to have faith

That's where it all starts

I know I have to have faith in myself

It's feelin' that's found right here in my heart

And when I think about things and all the dreams I wanna see come true

Let me tell you just what I do…

I take a look in the mirror and I smile and say have faith in me, faith in you.



In the shadow of the city, by the banks of the river

From the doorway of his cardboard room

A man cries out, faith in me, faith in you

Your form of poverty and prejudice over hunger and pain

Over social injustice, just watch as the bosses rein

Here ‘em saying, faith in me, faith in you



[REPEAT CHORUS]



I take a look in the mirror and I smile and say have faith in me… faith in you.
