Faith and Doubt
Written by Charles Milton Gaby

I don’t know where we’re going
In these divided states
Maybe we’ve still got the same heart

But the book of love became a weapon
And the pirates came and used it
To blow us all apart

Now a crow is rising in the sky
She’s preaching as she passes by
The word coming down from on high
Is you got to save this world

She’s got faith for the doubtful
She’s got doubt for the faithful
They say religion is the best defense against a divine experience

But you can find Jesus
Singing Billy Joel down at the corner bar
And he sings there every night
And every night he sings
I love you I love you
I love you just the way you are

He’s got faith for the doubtful
And he’s got doubt for the faithful

Do you remember when we were wild
Just remember when we were wild and innocent
Then we were caught and we were taught
Before we could even learn to walk
Who to love and who to hate
Washed our brains and sealed our fate
But there s a new world being born
And there’s no shelter in the storm
For those who fear god’s scorn
For nothing
But learning how to love

We need faith for the doubtful
We need doubt for the faithful

Now the book of love
Left a thousand pages blank for you and me
To write a story of our time
And wouldn’t it be a crying shame
If all we wrote was just the same thing
As if we hadn’t learned anything

We need doubt for the faithful
And we need doubt for the faithful

I wanna give faith to the doubtful
And give doubt to the faithful
