It stays with you, <br />Until it's gone. <br />A pride kept. <br />To keep strong <br /> <br />It stays with you, <br />All day long until it's gone. <br />That convincing confidence, <br />Kept to respect with every step. <br /> <br />It stays with you, <br />And never wrong.. <br />Until the doing of it had has gone. <br />That faith with a purpose witnessed to serve. <br />It stays with you. <br />Without those sad songs anyone hears. <br />It stays with you. <br /> <br />A people with faith, <br />Aren't afraid. <br />A people with faith... <br />Daily pray. <br />A people with faith, <br />Don't masquerade... <br />A faith to abuse someone betrayed. <br /> <br />It stays with you, <br />And never wrong... <br />To have and strong. <br /> <br />It stays with you... <br />A kept faith, <br />To never fake. <br />It stays with you... <br />A kept faith, <br />That's never wrong. <br />Even if tested all day long. <br /> <br />It stays with you... <br />A kept faith, <br />To never fake. <br />It stays with you... <br />A kept faith, <br />That's never wrong. <br />It stays with you... <br />And with others of faith too! <br />It stays! <br />A kept faith stays. <br />A kept faith stays. <br />It stays. <br />A kept faith stays. <br />It stays<br /><br />Lawrence S.
