You can't fight faith
Lord I tried it
I gave it all I had to give
And came up short
You can't fight love
Or deny it
'Cause once you've shared that joy
You don't forget
I tried time and time again
Tried my best, at least most times, my friend
But now I know how it feels
To get knocked down
And never heal
You can't fight hate
Lord I tried it
We stared into each other's eyes
But I couldn't compete
I tried time and time again
Tried my best, I swear I did, my friend
But how on earth can you hear
That inner voice
Amidst the noise and fear?
You can't fight faith
Lord I tried it
Till I listened to an open heart
And faith found me
