Wondering what this pain is about 

Here's something mother taught me 

When I was a child 

It's passed down from an old generation 

To let us all in on the new revelation 

See the light and comfort will be on the way 



I've got a little faith on the table 

Find a little hope in the jar 

There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere 

And then shake it up. 



A simple message, simple virtues three 

But it's not as easy as it looks on TV 

Mix these with a little bit of sadness 

And you will find the joy, practice boy. 



I've got a little faith on the table 

Find a little hope in the jar 

There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere 

And then shake it up. 



And with your honesty and your open mind 

Find the willingness of a child 



It helps a lot when I don't act like a loser 

But I know mama these lyrics gonna confuse ya 

It's like a sudsy train raging through my one track mind. 



I've got a little faith on the table 

Find a little hope in the jar 

There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere 

And then shake it up. 

Got to shake it up.
