[English]

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress

You could say I lost my belief in religion

And you could say I lost my sense of direction

...

You could say all of this and worse but

If I ever lose my faith in you (in you)

...

There'd be nothing left for me to do (to do)

...

Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world

...

You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV

...

You could say I'd lost my belief in our politicians

...

They all seem like game show hosts to me but

If I ever lose my faith in you (if I ever lose my faith)

There'd be nothing left for me to do (if I ever lose my faith)

Lose my faith in you (in you)

I could be lost inside their lies without a trace (without a trace)

But every time I close my eyes, I see your face

...

I never saw no miracle of science

That didn't go from a blessing to a curse (a curse)

I never saw no military solution that didn't end up worse

If I ever lose my faith in you

...

If I ever lose my faith in you

(If I ever lose my faith in you)

There'd be nothing left for me to do

(There'd be nothing left for me to do)

If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith)

If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith)

If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith)

If I ever lose my faith (lose my faith)

...

In you

In you

...
