lyrics
2
faithless world
(Rory Block)
We are all travelers here,
In this place of many wonders, in this place of tears,
Keep swimming up to the river, this is your work to do,
There’s a lesson to be learned, nobody can learn it but you,
Oh why must I keep grieving to, and how much further must I go?
In a faithless world, they took my pride,
In a faithless world, they took my voice,
In a faithless world, love slips away,
Faithless world.
I’ve been here many times before,
Standing at this crossroad, looking out this door,
Every breath could be your last,
Your next move is gonna be your past,
Perhaps I never saw his face, when he was with me in this place,
In a faithless world, they took my heart,
In a faithless world, they took my child,
In a faithless world, love slips away,
Faithless world,
Suffering is not punishment for the evil,
For it would be wasted on them,
Suffering is for the enlightened,
So they may remember what they already know,
All these things have happened to you,
So you’ll know just what to do,
In a faithless world, they took my house,
In a faithless world, they took my child,
In a faithless world, love slips away,
Faithless world.
