Lyrics
I Have Faith
When I was a younger man
Many years ago
I lost my job, I lost my wife
That's the way things go
An old friend said to me
Forget your history
But I still cling to broken dreams
'Cause I have faith
I became an older man
A day or two ago
Struggling thru my simple life
That's the way things go
A new friend said to me
Discard your history
I still cling to broken dreams
'Cause I have faith
CHORUS: I have faith
I have faith
I still cling to broken dreams
I have faith
Bridge:
Maybe they are right
Who am I to say?
Should I keep these broken dreams or throw them all away?
My heart says to me
Embrace your history
So I will cling to broken dreams
'Cause I have faith
CHORUS
