Lyrics
Brute Faith
c Lisa Jane Lipkin
Ice wind blows
Turn my back right to it
Keep on walking 'til I'm gone
Live and learn
That's how you get through it
Keep your mind set on the dawn
Snipers in my backyard,
taking shots from behind a tree
Creatures in my garden
tearing thru my dignity
But I'm holding on with Brute Faith
I've got friends...in the highest places
I think you might know them, too
they keep time
and tell me not to worry
they're gonna drive me right on thru
Hunters in my hometown
gunning for my sanity
Poachers on the back roads
sanctified to capture me
But I'm holding on with Brute Faith
And I'm holding on to the only thing that's true
I'm holding on to love
I'm holding on to you
And I'm holding on with Brute Faith
