Faith In Man

Can I be your ship?
Can I be your sail?
Can I be your anchor?
My life is going to fail

Listen to the wind
Listen to the wails
When your all locked up
And there is no bail

And when the lights go out in your head
Don't put your faith in the hands of man

Can I be the lost?
Can I be the found?
Can I be your guide?
When you go downtown

Lift me up
Hold me down
Watch my steps
Let me hear the sound

And when the lights go out in your head 
Don't put your faith in the hands of man
