A soft voice sings

 (A lone voice calling herself, Faith, sings.) 

Let me purify old memories 

To be purged

For I alone 

Own all sacred keys

To embrace all vulnerabilities 

So you can be reborn 

With new responsibilities 

A whole new identity to be earned

To set you free

So you can be

The best 

For all to see 

As your new life runs 

To go so far

No more prisoner to tears 

To treasure the deep divine 

No longer to worship sin

No longer to taste more tears

Just let me be there

When you want me 

To hear you call 

Before you fall

Love infused with honesty 

Merged with trust and loyalty

For all the watching world to see

For we are friends 

Till the very end

Whatever this sad world 

Dares to bring

Just let me in

To be the reason

As your heart prays for something

Whatever the year 

Or season

For I'm that one thing 

That has saved 

Endless queens or kings 

And countless broken 

And destitute

The many the rich 

Love to prosecute

Who I listen to 

Even more 

Wherever they sing

Will you let me 

Purify old memories 

That need to be purged

For I alone 

Own all sacred keys

Just pray 

To call for me 

For my name is Faith 

And I'll appear 

To follow 

To help you break 

Those chains 

To set your soul free
