Never Gonna Break My Faith

Performed by Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige & Harlem Boys Choir
My Lord
I have read this book so many times
No where can I find the page
That says what I experienced today has any Grace
Now I know that life is meant to be hard
That’s how I learn to appreciate my God
Though my courage made me try
I can tell you I won’t hide
Because the footprints show you are by my side
(Chorus)
You can lie to a child with a smilin’ face
Tell me that color ain’t about a race
You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones
But your never gonna break, your never gonna break my Faith…
…and Hope ain’t yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a King
Break an angel’s wings
But your never gonna break, your never gonna break my Faith
My Lord
Won’t you help them, help them, help them to understand
That when someone takes the life of an innocent man
Well they’ve never really won because all they’ve really done
Is to set the soul free where it’s supposed to be
(Chorus)
You can lie to a child with a smilin’ face
Tell me that color ain’t about a race
You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones
But your never gonna break, your never gonna break my Faith…
…and Hope ain’t yours to give
Truth and Liberty are mine to live
Steal a crown from a King
Break an angel’s wings
But your never gonna break, your never gonna break my Faith
For those we lose before their time
I pray their souls will find the light
I know that the day will surely come
When His will, His will, will be done
