True Faith Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much

[Chorus]
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me here
To the childhood I lost, displaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

[Verse 2]
When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing
[Chorus]
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me here
To the childhood I lost, displaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

[Bridge]
Now I fear that you've left me standing
In a world that is so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear

[Chorus]
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, displaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
