Poems and Songs

Collecting poems along the way…

And sharing a beautiful song by Billy Bragg, from his album “Mr. Love and Justice”.

I Keep Faith

If you want to make the weather
Then you have to take the blame
If sometimes dark clouds fill the sky
And it starts to rain, and folks complain
And though your head may tell you
To run and hide
Listen to your heart, and you’ll find me
Right by your side
Because…

I keep faith, I keep faith
I keep faith, I keep faith in you
Yes I do, I keep faith in you

If you think you have the answer
Don’t be surprised
If what you say is met with anger
And contempt and lies
No matter how hard you want to
Just walk away
Reach out you’ll find me there beside you
All of the way
Because…

I keep faith, I keep faith
I keep faith, I keep faith in you
Yes I do, I keep faith in you

All the dreams we shared
I never knew no one who cared
About these things the way that I’ve seen in you
It doesn’t matter if
This all falls off the cliff
Together we are gonna see it through

I know it takes a mess of courage
To go against the grain
You have to make great sacrifice for such little gain
And so much pain
And if your plans come to nothing
Washed out in the rain
Let me rekindle all your hopes
And help you start again
Because….

I keep faith, I keep faith
I keep faith, I keep faith in you
Yes I do, I keep faith in you
