When your head`s not making sense, baby
When your heart is just a mystery
When you`re sitting on the fence
Instead of knowing where you`re s`posed to be
Well just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We`ll be keeping the faith

Keep keeping the faith, don`t give it away

Missing way down deep inside
It`s the weary, it`s the lonesome
It`s the forest that we just can`t see
Don`t forget now, there ain`t no one who
Isn`t trying to see beyond the trees
So just keep keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday
We`ll be keeping the faith
Keep keeping the faith, don`t give it away
Keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, everyday [this line only: C C D Em]
We`ll be keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, don`t give it away
