Wouldn't you believe a man Who showed you how to rise and stand And hold your own forsaken hand And lead you through the years I would, I would, I'd follow if I could But faith has always flashed and disappeared Wouldn't you believe the words A lover's lips might share with yours Forever and forever more A love that's not at war I would, I would, I'd promise if I could But faith has never touched my heart for good Wouldn't you believe in work If every day from death to birth You turned a wrench that fixed the earth With sweat that clenched a thirst I would, I would, I'd labor like I should But faith has never filled that hole with dirt But every time and every where A safety net of silver hair That every climber knows is there And all who fall would swear And I would, I would, I'd swear it if I could But faith has never caught me unprepared So wouldn't you believe in life If every blessed guess was right And every question answered twice Like shadows filled with light I would, I would, I'd wake because I could As faithful as the sun just knows to rise
