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

Won't do nothing if there's something
Em Em D D D D
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 [this line only: C C D Em]
We'll be keeping the faith
Keeping the faith, don't give it away
