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, ev 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
