I Have Faith In These Desolate Times Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

I have faith in these desolate times 

A roar down the road of a rumbling war 

I have faith in these desolate times 

A chill from the eyes of a man of political skill 

I have faith but for how much longer? 

It seems to me, bitter trees, full of fleas 

Summarily hold the branches 

People we, falling leaves, watching thieves 

Stealing keys, to our ranches 

I have faith in these desolate times 

A score to the sound of the feet of a journeyman's tour 

I have faith in these desolate times 

A feel and a hope and belief that man's peace will be still 

I have faith but for how much longer? 

The village green, people seen, full of beans 

Imagining the course of action 

And in between, shopping scenes, plasticine 

Suburban dreams, an empty faction 

I have faith in these desolate times 

Show fear, and the smoke of a gun trigger pulling finger pressure comes near 

I have faith in these desolate times 

Before long, the lamb and the lion may lie with the lass in the grass at dawn 

I have faith but for how much longer?
