Analysis of Need For Faith
Maybe there is an after life
I have need for sooth
Maybe there is an after life
I have sought a truth
Maybe there is glory above
I have need for bliss
Maybe there is glory above
I have known a kiss
Maybe there is a holy ghost
I have need for faith
Maybe there is a holy ghost
I have seen a wraith
Maybe there is forevermore
I have need for time
Maybe there is forevermore
I have worn a prime
Maybe there is a living God
I have need for hope
Maybe there is a living God
I have sealed a scope
