Aretha Franklin never gonna break my faith

Select language to translate this lyric

My Lord, I have read this book so many times

But nowhere can I find the page that says

What I experienced today has any grace



Now I know that life is meant to be hard

That's how I learned to appreciate my God

Though my courage may be tried, I can tell you I won't hide

Because the footprints show you were by my side



You can lie to a child with a smiling face

Tell me that color ain't about a race

You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones

But you never gonna break, you never gonna break my faith



Faith and hope ain't yours to give

Truth and liberty are mine to live

Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings

But you never gonna break, you never gonna break my faith



My Lord, won't you help them, help them, 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



You can lie to a child with a smiling face

Tell me that color ain't about a race

You can cast the first stone, you can break my bones

But you never, you never gonna break my faith



Faith and hope ain't yours to give

Truth and liberty are mine to live

Steal a crown from a king, break an angels wings

But you never gonna break, you never gonna break my faith



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

Yes, it will, alright



Never gonna break my faith

Never gonna break my faith

You never gonna break my faith
