Testo di 'Never Gonna Break My Faith (feat. The Boys Choir Of Harlem)' di Aretha Franklin

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 was 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're never gonna break
You're 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're never gonna break
You're 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, oh
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're never, ever, ever
You're 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 angel's wings
But you're never ever, ever
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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, it will be
It will be done
It will be done
Hey, yeah, yeah

You're never gonna break my faith, never, never
Never, never, never, never, never
Never, never, never, never, never, never
You're never gonna break my faith
Oh, yeah, ain't gonna break my faith
