Lyrics
Songs of Faith and Inspiration
You’ve had another doggone lousy day.
It seems that hardly anything goes your way.
Well, you can either take it,
Hide your head in the sand,
Or you could have the guts to make a stand.
Another unproductive year goes by.
It vanished in the twinkling of an eye.
You grow a little older,
But make the same mistakes.
Sometimes you wonder what it takes.
Oh, Songs of Faith and Inspiration
Get me through those situations
When I can’t bear my life one minute longer.
When you’re down they’ll stand beside you.
If the world should crucify you,
Put your faith in songs of inspiration.
You open up the letter that she wrote.
Her message puts a lump inside your throat.
She says she had a good time
But now it has to end.
She only likes you as a friend.
Oh, Songs of Faith and Inspiration
Get me through those situations
When I can’t bear my life one minute longer.
When you’re down they’ll stand beside you.
If the world should crucify you,
Put your faith in songs of inspiration.
When you get the straw that breaks your back,
Let somebody else pick up the slack.
Take a break and rest awhile.
Fiddle with that radio dial.
Shouldn’t take too long
before you find another song
of inspiration.
(instrumental of verse)
Your supervisor wants to have a chat.
It seems that your department’s cutting back.
The project that you started
Is being put on the shelf.
You’ll have to find employment someplace else.
But it’s no tragic loss, ‘cause you’ve been there before,
So you gather your things and you head for the door.
Your job, your youth, and your girlfriend are gone,
And it looks pretty grim, but the radio’s on,
And between the commercials, the hype, and the news,
There’s a man with a sax, and he’s singing the blues,
And you know just how he feels,
‘cause the desperation’s real.
Songs of Faith and Inspiration
Get me through those situations
When I can’t bear my life one minute longer.
When you’re down they’ll stand beside you.
If the world should crucify you,
Put your faith in songs of inspiration.
Songs of Faith and Inspiration
Get me through those situations
When I can’t bear my life one minute longer.
When you’re down they’ll stand beside you.
If the world should crucify you,
Put your faith in songs of inspiration.
Put your faith in songs of inspiration.
Put your faith in songs of faith.
Put your faith in songs of faith.
Put your faith in songs of inspiration.
