[English]
You could say I lost my faith in science and progressYou 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
