Faith in Something Bigger Lyrics
enough to cover us all.
we've gotta be strong men and follow a path again.
faith in something bigger,
faith in something big inside ourself.
the snow we never felt.
we're young and hardy again, we bow to weaker men.
faith in something bigger,
faith in something big inside ourself.
the more we prove, the more remains to be proved.
we've gotta be strong men and follow a path again.
faith in something bigger,
faith in something big inside ourself, inside ourself.
faith in something bigger, etc...
i'm a mystic. i don't look for big cosmic explanations. "don't need no religion, never did, never will."
so i don't get caught up in worrying about what the Something Bigger in this song is. but i still know it when i feel it. and i feel it when i hear this song.
if you listen closely, you can hear the word "can" very quickly inserted in the line "we're young and hearty again, we [can] bow to weaker men." I didn't hear this until after having listened to this song for several decades.
having gotten a bit older over that time, this little discovery came as a bit of a gift. because to me it is a reminder that we "can" [choose to] bow to weakness... and specifically our own weakness... or we can choose to be "young and hardy again."
this song helps me choose to be young and hearty. i recommend it.
What a great interpretation, Dcba! Thanks for sharing it!

makes sense except in tommy the lyrics, "dont want no religion," was sung by the antagonist the rebellious followers of tommy, and pete townshend has a appreciation for faith, he was a huge follower of meher baba. pete said let my love open the door was sung from Jesus point of view.
