Faith is good
Faith is Needed
by Bryce 1
I walk a totum pole
That slashes through the air
Hanging over wants
That call to me and stare
I walk a fabled line
A road of little light
I take it all in stride
With a sight that's nearly blind
Struggle always comes
Life will always hit
When it comes to troubled paths
I know I'll get through it
A prayer comes in handy
When my thoughts go against me
I sometimes have to jump
From the cliff of warmth and safety
In a windy free fall
Hurdling towards the ground
I find the faith to close my eyes
And trust the waiting ground
And when I reach the end
Of a fall that scared me so
I find that I'm unhurt
Because I just let go
Behind the very mask
That tries so hard to haunt me
Behind that poor disguise
That once or twice has caught me
Like looking in a mirror
Opening the door
To see myself playing the one
Who scares me to the core
Fear is just a tool
That sneaks up like a snake
And tricks me into thinking
That I've made a big mistake
I take it all in stride
I drop the whole charade
I don't care what gets to me
When I trust it's all okay
It's gotten me through everything
Even in great doubt
Through my faith I've come to find
What life is all about
I'm pulled by my desire
Down to places bad
And at the end of every road
I always end up sad
I'm pulled ahead by greed
That always asks for more
But at the end of the day
I feel empty to the core
I'm pulled by imperfection
Every which way
The only thing to bring me out
Is a prayer in good faith
So let me end with this
If I can make it clear
The only way to have faith
Is to bravely face your fears
