I once was a child
With innocent eyes
And my family sworn
They knew best for my life (Knew best for my life)
I followed their rules (Follow the rule)
As I played with my friends (Played with my friends)
When it came to the world
I never thought it would end (Never thought it would end)
Help me Faith
Help me Faith, shield me from sorrow (Shield me from sorrow)
From fear of tomorrow (From fear of tomorrow)
Help me Faith
Help me Faith, shield me from sadness
From worry and madness
Lead me to the place
And as I grew up
I could never be free
'Cause the shackles I wore
Can't be touched nor be seen
My heart never loved (I never loved)
And my soul couldn't laugh (My soul couldn't laugh)
So much hate in my life
Couldn't make out the path (Couldn't make out the path)
Help me Faith
Help me Faith, shield me from sorrow (Shield me from sorrow)
From fear of tomorrow (From fear of tomorrow)
Help me Faith
Help me Faith, shield me from sadness
From worry and madness
Lead me to the place
And when I grew old
I was riddled with sin
Locked my soul in the dark
Never let the light in
I crawled towards the gate
With little time left
I cried 'what have I done?'
As I took my last breath
Help me Faith
Help me Faith, shield me from sorrow (Shield me from sorrow)
From fear of tomorrow (From fear of tomorrow)
Help me Faith
Help me Faith, shield me from sadness
From worry and madness
Lead me to the place
