Faith on the Table
Faith and Hope: A Journey Through Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
When you're down and feeling left out
When feeling low and excluded
Wondering what this pain is about
Questioning the source of pain
Here's something mother taught me
Mother's teachings as guidance
When I was a child
Recalling childhood advice
It's passed down from an old generation
Wisdom passed through generations
To let us all in on the new revelation
Revelation for all to embrace
See the light and comfort will be on the way
Find light, and comfort will follow
I've got a little faith on the table
Keeping faith present in challenging times
Find a little hope in the jar
Discovering hope in difficult situations
There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere
Seeking sanity amidst struggles
And then shake it up.
Encouragement to shake things up
A simple message, simple virtues three
Emphasizing three simple virtues
But it's not as easy as it looks on TV
Challenging simplicity portrayed in media
Mix these with a little bit of sadness
Mixing virtues with a touch of sadness
And you will find the joy, practice boy.
Finding joy through practice
I've got a little faith on the table
Having faith as a constant presence
Find a little hope in the jar
Finding hope even in a small container
There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere
Desiring sanity in the surroundings
And then shake it up.
Encouragement to stir things up
And with your honesty and your open mind
Emphasizing honesty and an open mind
Find the willingness of a child
Finding childlike willingness
It helps a lot when I don't act like a loser
Benefiting from avoiding a defeatist attitude
But I know mama these lyrics gonna confuse ya
Awareness that lyrics may confuse
It's like a sudsy train raging through my one track mind.
Metaphor of a train in a focused mind
I've got a little faith on the table
Maintaining faith as a constant
Find a little hope in the jar
Finding hope even in a confined space
There's got to be sanity 'round here somewhere
Continuing the quest for sanity
And then shake it up.
Encouragement to shake things up
Got to shake it up.
Reiterating the need to bring about change
