Never Gonna Break My Faith (feat. The Boys Choir of Harlem)

My Lord, I have read this book so many times

But nowhere can there I find the page

That says what I experienced today has any grace

Now I know that life was meant to be hard

And that's how I learned to appreciate my God

Though my courage may be tried

I can tell you I won't hide

Because the footprints show you were by my side

You can lie to a child with a smiling face

Tell me that color ain't about a race

You can cast the first stone

You can break my bones

But you never gonna break

You're never gonna break my faith

And hope ain't yours to give

Truth and liberty are mine to live

Steal a crown from a king, break an angel's wings

But you never gonna break

Never gonna break my faith

My Lord, won't you help them?

Help them, help them to understand

That when someone takes the life of an innocent man, woo

Well, they never really won

And all they really done is set the soul free

Where it's supposed to be

You can lie to a child with a smiling face

Tell me color ain't about a race

You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones

But you're never, ever, ever

You're never gonna break my faith

And hope ain't yours to give

Truth and liberty are mine to live

Steal a crown from a king, break an angel's wings

But you're never, ever, ever

You're never gonna break my faith

For those we lose before their time

I pray that their souls will find a light

And I know that the day will surely come

Oh, when it will, it will

Will be done, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah

Never, yeah

Oh, yeah, it will, will be

It will be done

Oh, yeah, it will be, yeah

It, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah

You're never gonna break my faith

Oh, no, you won't, you won't

You're never, never, never

You'll never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna break my faith

No, you ain't gonna break my faith
