From the recording faith
faith started life as a poem, written in response to this modern way of living, everything moves so fast. Life can talk us down, make us feel worthless, tell us how we should live, who we should love, what clothes we should wear, every aspect of what we do and how we do it, there's an opinion out there.
I'm just trying to say (in a democracy) you can be who you want to be and not worry about being judged, of course I know this is hard, at my age if I don't know that by now I never will.
Life throws so many curve balls and it isn't always possible to dodge them especially if they hit you right smack between the eyes.
Lyrics
Verse 1:
climb like you will not fall
look down as if you can see the floor
live like you're not afraid
leap as if you have the faith
Chorus
play like you think you can win
love as if there is no sin
look in the mirror like you like what you see
pretend as if I never hurt me
Verse 2:
talk like you're in the know
walk as if there is somewhere to go
wear your mask like it changes you
dream as if dreams do come true
Chorus
play like you think you can win
love as if there is no sin
look in the mirror like you like what you see
pretend as if I never hurt me
Verse 3:
gonna recycle like there is still time
hope as if doubt isn't on my mind
hear their lies like I haven't been played
stand up, be counted, as if unafraid
Chorus
play like I think I can win
love as if there is no sin
look in the mirror like I like what I see
pretend as if I never hurt me
Verse 4:
I'll grow old like it's not to late
love as if I've never known hate
believe in something like it has a worth
live my life as if nothing hurts
Chorus
play like I think I can win
love as if there is no sin
look in the mirror like I like what you see
pretend as if I never hurt me
play like you think you can win
love as if there is no sin
look in the mirror like you like what you see
pretend as if I never hurt me
