Stan Ridgway - An Act Of Faith lyrics

With an act of faith, all the mountains would move And the rain would stop all around With an act of faith, all the dogs would stop barking And we could move out of this town Oh, the road up ahead would open up wide We'd be the only ones at the line With an act of faith With an act of faith With an act of faith It'd be fine With an act of faith, we could throw off the dust around Leave the past way behind We'd turn over those rocks and buy brand-new clean socks And who knows what our shoes may soon find All the birds in the trees would sing sweet harmony And bring earthworms to eat on our way With an act of faith With an act of faith With an act of faith It's our day Now I've heard what begins with an act of faith Can bring about changes in life Yeah, any bum on the street would stand up on his feet And walk in direction of light Yeah, up ahead I think I see some light! We can bandage all the fences broken Come together and shake hands like friends With an act of faith With an act of faith With an act of faith It begins Right where this road used to end
