Keep The Faith.

Keep The Faith
Keep the faith, oh, we gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh give me strength
Yeah we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, yeah, oh we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There's something wrong I am sure
When we measure how well we're off by the poverty next door
There's something wrong 'round here
We should be broadening horizons and not closing down the wards

Chorus:
Faint-hearted stand aside
You have not got the pride
Needed day by day to retrieve this battered land
And Keep the Faith

There's no compassion here
There's too much business interest in South African affairs
Black acrid smoke fills the air
Her little pearls of wisdom form a necklace of despair

Chorus:
Faint-hearted stand aside
You have not got the pride
Needed day by day to retrieve this battered land
And Keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh
Yeah we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh give me strength
Yeah we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith

We need change why do you find that strange?
I will testify to you, there's so much here we could improve
We need change, why do you find that strange?
I will testify to you, and I have Marx to prove it too

Look what they're doing to the youth
Behold the new slave trade, behold the closing schools
They will waste the best in you
So gather up all your convictions
Let's remove these evil fools

Chorus:
Faint-hearted stand aside
You have not got the pride
Needed day by day to retrieve this battered land
And Keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh
Yeah we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh give me strength
Oh, we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, yeah
Oh we've gotta, gotta, keep the faith
Keep the faith, oh, yeah we have got to keep the faith
