Aretha Franklin - Never Gonna Break My Faith lyrics

(feat. The Harlem Boys Choir)

[Verse 1]

My Lord

I have read this book so many times

But nowhere can i find the page

that change what i experience today

[? Grace:]

Now i Know that life is ment to be hard

thats how I learn to appreciate my God

Though my courage made me try

I can tell you i won't hide

Because the footprints show you are by my side.

[Chorus]

You can lie to a child with a smilin' face

Tell me that color aint about race

You can cast the first stones you can break my bones

But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith

Faith and Hope aint yours to give

Truth and Liberty are mine to Live

You can steal a crown from a king

Break an angels wings

But your never gonna break Your never gonna break my Faith

[Verse 2:]

My Lord

Won't you help them to understand

that when someone takes the life of an innocent man

Well they never really Won because all they've really done

is set the Soul Free where it's supposed to be

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]

For those we lose before their time

I pray their souls will find the light

I know that the day will surely come

When his will, His will, will be done
