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
