When I feel put out like a cigarette on the floor of the high street
I find it to reignite myself
It's a pick me up that will be there for when I need help because
I don't always feel up for being someone
And when the day is done and I'm overcome and I need that something to spur me on
I've got to keep the faith
Because the future's my aim
And I mustn't throw it away
And let my true principles deviate
When I end up stood right at the foot of the forthcoming
It looms with a sense of urgency
I feel the coldness hit as I'm frozen in its shade of uncertainty because
I don't always feel up for being someone
And when the day is done and I'm overcome and I need that something to spur me on
I've got to keep the faith
Because the future's my aim
And I mustn't throw it away
And let my true principles deviate
I tell myself to keep it safe
'Cause it's a treasure buried deep within
A trait that has the power to mark my fate
I always keep it within my reach
Even when I can't make ends meet
I'll keep by me and I'll stay standing on my own two feet
I've got to keep the faith
Because the future's my aim
And I mustn't throw it away
And let my true principles deviate
I've got to keep the faith
Because the future's my aim
And I mustn't throw it away
And let my true principles deviate
