Analysis of FAITH ON A SLEEVE
Barry Green Jr 1973 (Florida)
FAITH ON A SLEEVE
The years have marched on
My friends are all gone
Watch the night on my Lawn
I wear my Faith on my sleeve
There's no doubt I still believe
You show me all this science
On man is your whole relience
You're startled by my silence
I wear my Faith on my sleeve
There's no doubt I still believe
The signs are all around
The curtains coming down
Where are you bound?
I wear my Faith on my sleeve
There's no doubt I still believe
You tell me how to think
As the ship's about to sink
See the Angels only wink
I wear my Faith on my sleeve
There's no doubt I still believe
I see confusion invade the mass
Gender is a question you really ask
I won't participate, yeah I'll pass
I wear my Faith on my sleeve
There's no doubt I still believe
You have a choice you must make
Your first love don't forsake
In the Truth Believers partake
Is your Faith on your sleeve?
Tell me you still Believe?
As the Heavens open up above
Stand and show what You're made of
Before the Author of Heaven's Love
Is your Faith on your sleeve?
Tell me you still Believe?
I wear my Faith on my sleeve
There's no doubt I still believe
Is your Faith on your sleeve?
Tell me you still Believe?
AMEN
