An Act Of Faith Lyrics - Holiday In Dirt - Stan Ridgway

With an act of faith, all the mountains would move 

And the rain would stop all around 

With an act of faith, all the dogs would stop barking 

And we could move out of this town 

Oh, the road up ahead would open up wide 

We'd be the only ones at the line 

With an act of faith 

With an act of faith 

With an act of faith 

It'd be fine 

With an act of faith, we could throw off the dust around 

Leave the past way behind 

We'd turn over those rocks and buy brand-new clean socks 

And who knows what our shoes may soon find 

All the birds in the trees would sing sweet harmony 

And bring earthworms to eat on our way 

With an act of faith 

With an act of faith 

With an act of faith 

It's our day 

Now I've heard what begins with an act of faith 

Can bring about changes in life 

Yeah, any bum on the street would stand up on his feet 

And walk in direction of light 

Yeah, up ahead I think I see some light! 

We can bandage all the fences broken 

Come together and shake hands like friends 

With an act of faith 

With an act of faith 

With an act of faith 

It begins 

Right where this road used to end
