faithfully remain

Ben Harper

I learned to say goodbye
to say goodbye too young.

I learned to duck from words
like bullets from a gun.

How long can you pray?
How long can you pray?
and still not see a change.

I faithfully remain. I faithfully remain.

Somethings, somethings
you have to let be lost.

Some battles, some battles
you have to leave unfought.

Then the truth just wastes away
in all we dare not say.
And then all we can't explain.

But I faithfully remain. I faithfully remain.

Now I'm afraid once again.
Once again it has all come to this.

When it all goes dark nothing stays the same.
And now I'm only what i miss.
And my memories they turn to tears.
Oh they turn to fire, blood, and pain.

And I, I faithfully remain. I faithfully remain.
And I, I faithfully remain. I faithfully remain.
I faithfully remain.
