Lyrics
Rope Of Faith
It's a familiar melody
Variations on a theme of hurry up and wait
Is that what you are to me
An answer to my prayers or just a simple twist of fate
Dreams that always turn to dust
Once again beg me to trust
I see the signs, I hear your voice
I'm trying not to turn away
CH: 'Cause I'm hangin' on this rope of faith
That you've thrown out to save me
Feelin' like I'd reached the end
But you say it could change me
So I'm climbin' up this rope of faith
You say it's all I need
I need a miracle and so I pray
You tell me just believe
Ran down different roads so blind
Here and there and everywhere, still searchin' and confused
Now the light that burns inside
Is the one that lit the road that led me here to you
Worlds apart in time and space
Music fills that empty place
Puts the power into my hands
The dream I need to understand
Through the miles and through the years
I hope you'll be my friend
Now I reach out to you
Will you reach back again
