Keep the Faith

He was workin' in the sunset late one night Nobody knows this, but he cries inside he hides his pain behind the mask of lies. When he was 15, he lost his dad fighting in the war of Afghanistan. Forced to get a job to support his family. He's fighting so hard just to breathe. But a respiratory problem won't stop him, from loving his family. And he prays for Earth to understand, We're put here for a purpose let's do all we can. His mother's workin' two jobs With a baby at home tryin' to earn a livin to support her children. And he prays forward for heavens hand to guide his way through life. And he sings the words for Afghanistan to all the lives lost, "You'll always be in our hearts." ~Inspired by Michael Jackson's song "Keep The Faith"
