Sheila Nichols Tells it Like It Is

Something rumbling underneath my skin
I could not define it or invite it in
To let it in would be to liberate
To keep it in darkness is to propagate
 
It’s all about
Believing through something that you always doubt
 
When you have faith you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste
It’s never too late
So try to create
‘Cause the last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks is your faith
 
Something shouting from behind my eyes
I’m looking too closely to recognize it
To gain perspective think it would be wise
Would you please listen while it testifies now
 
It’s all about
Believing through something that you always doubt
 
When you have faith you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste
It’s never too late
So try to create
‘Cause the last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks is your faith
 
And I surrender to this storm
I’m tasting raindrops, sweet and wet and warm
And may I never lose this faith I’ve found
Keeps me anchored onto solid ground
So let lightning flash and wind swirl around
Around, around, around
 
When you have faith you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste
It’s never too late
So try to create
‘Cause the last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks
The last thing that breaks is your faith
 
You have faith
You have faith
You have faith
