Faith and Need

lyric

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 6 months ago • 1 min read

[Verse]

Faith ain't a ticket to the easy ride

It don't smooth the edges it don't let you slide

It ain't a promise it's a fight with the sky

It ain't no shortcut just a reason to try

[Chorus]

You can't always get what you want

But you get what you need when you're crawling through the haunt

The world ain't bending but you're learning to stand

Faith's a raw deal it's a rough hand

[Verse 2]

The road ain't golden it's cracked and worn

Every step's a battle every dream's torn

But there's a fire burning deep in the chest

It ain't about winning it's about doing your best

[Chorus]

You can't always get what you want

But you get what you need when you're crawling through the haunt

The world ain't bending but you're learning to stand

Faith's a raw deal it's a rough hand

[Bridge]

Hands in the dirt knees to the ground

The silence screams the world spins around

A whisper inside keeps pushing the pace

It's faith it's grit it's the lines on your face

[Chorus]

You can't always get what you want

But you get what you need when you're crawling through the haunt

The world ain't bending but you're learning to stand

Faith's a raw deal it's a rough hand
