You  could say  I  lost my faith  in science  and progress
You  could say  I lost my belief  in the holy  church
You  could say  I  lost my sense  of direction
You  could  say all  of this and worse  but
If  I ever lose  my faith  in you
/11
 There'd be nothing left for me to do
 Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
 You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
 You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians
 They all seemed like game show hosts to me
 If I ever lose my faith in you
 There'd be nothing left for me to do
/nr
 I could be lost inside their lies without a trace
  -5/nr
 But every time I close my eyes I see your face
I  never saw  no  miracle of science
That  didn't  go from a  blessing to  a curse
I  never saw  no  military solution
That  didn't  always end  up as something worse  but
Let  me say  this first
If  I ever lose  my faith  in you
 If I ever lose  my faith in you
There'd  be nothing left  for me  to do
 There'd be nothing left  for me to do
If  I ever lose  my faith
If  I ever lose  my faith
If  I ever lose  my faith
/11 /11
 If I ever lose my faith in you
