This is the faith,
this is the faith complex,
where all it takes is another step 
so we can step again.

It's not all about the numbers,
it is not all about the numbers,
this is the faith, 
this is the faith complex.
Try not to write another 
disappointing letter to integrity.
Only go faster when you've stopped and thought,
only go slower when you've learned of 
wisdom.

Everything is a question of goodwill,
but we're too busy delivering 
answers with arrogance.

Isn't it funny how ones compassion 
diminishes when his or her own perils rise,
perils rise, perils rise?

It's not all about the numbers, 
it is not all about the numbers.

What should we ask for,
who should we look to 
if all we know is burning bridges?

Don't speak to me like I'm a stranger.
Turn your thoughts to the roots,
as we've all been caught up in the branches.
With roots above and branches below.

Don't run if you don't know your walk.
This is the faith complex.
Don't run if you don't know your walk.
This is the faith complex,
this is a memoir to friends persisting.
This is the faith complex.
