 When it's been  that  kind of day,  baby
 When everything  is not what it  should be
 Everybody's  had their say;  Let's
 just say  today is history
 And keep keeping  the faith
Keeping  the faith,  everyday;  We're
Keeping  the faith
  C C D
 Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away
 When your head's not making sense, baby
 When your heart is just a mystery
 When you're sitting on the fence
 Instead of knowing where you're s'posed to be
 Well just keep keeping the faith
 Keeping the faith, everyday
 We'll be keeping the faith
  C C D G
 Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away
 All the style,  all the money
 All the power  you  can buy
 Won't do nothing  if there's something
 Missing way  down deep  inside
 It's the weary, it's the lonesome
 It's the forest that we just can't see
 Don't forget now, there ain't no one who
 Isn't trying to see beyond the trees
 So just keep keeping the faith
 Keeping the faith, everyday
 We'll be keeping the faith
 Keep keeping the faith, don't give it away
 Keeping the faith
 Keeping the faith, everyday
 We'll be keeping the faith
 Keeping the faith, don't give it away
