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"
