FAITH IN WAYS

from 1ST OFFENSE by Crime Scene

/

about

A song our artist friend, Stephen Prescott, wrote and gave to CRIME SCENE to add to the album. His version was acoustic/folk based while our version was more on the country/ballad side. Stephen later joined the group when it became RICE CRACKER PROJECT.

lyrics

I WEAR MY HEART UPON MY SLEEVE, THOUGH I BELIEVE,
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS I COULD WEAR;
AND IF I COME TO YOU MY LOVE, YOU’RE STRONG ENOUGH
TO KNOW IT’S YOU I TRUST TO SHARE
MY FEELINGS WITH.

DON’T GIVE A DAMN FOR THINGS
THAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY.
I RUN TO YOU, AND IN YOUR LAP,
MY HEAD WILL LAY…
KEEPING MY FAITH IN YOUR WAYS.

I OFTEN LOSE MYSELF IN DOUBT, WITH NO WAY OUT,
SAVE FOR THE GLIMMER OF YOUR SMILE;
AND THEN A WORD OR TWO FROM YOU CAN GUIDE ME THROUGH,
ALTHOUGH THAT RESCUE TAKES AWHILE,
I FIND MY WAY.

I REACH INSIDE MYSELF
TO SUMMON UP MY STRENGTH;
AND THEN I REALIZE
WE’RE ON THE SAME WAVE LENGTH…
KEEPING MY FAITH IN YOUR WAYS. KEEPING MY FAITH IN YOUR WAYS.

NOW THERE ARE THOSE WHO SAY THAT FAITH CAN BE SO BLIND,
OR PERHAPS IT MEANS THAT MINOR THINGS SHOULDN’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

I TRY SO HARD TO KEEP MY COOL, BUT LIKE A FOOL,
I BURN THE HEAT RIGHT OUT OF ME.
AND I’M LEFT STANDING IN THE COLD, MY TALE UNTOLD,
HOPING THERE’S MORE FOR ME TO SEE,
I LIFT MY EYES.

I SCAN THE HEAVEN’S
FOR A RE-ASSURING SIGN,
THEN I REGAIN MY SENSES
IN THE NICK OF TIME…
KEEPING MY FAITH IN YOUR WAYS.
WO! KEEPING YOUR FAITH IN MY WAYS.
YEA! KEEPING OUR FAITH IN OUR WAYS. OH!

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
