Story Behind The Song
In spite of recurring throat problems due to laryngitis, this needed to be written and performed to a deadline for a project based around "Hope". Consequently, the vocals are not as strong as they could be. Hoping to update it when the vocal cords have improved.

Verse 1
These are tough times - don't we know it
Tough times - with more to come
It is no crime - to be worried people
But we got to get this done.
Chorus 1
Keep the faith - this, will not, last forever
Keep the faith - in love, we will succeed
Keep the faith - but we, gotta pull together
Hope and community is what we need
Verse 2
It's not uncool - to do the right thing
And it's so cool - to help each other out
You are no fool - left or right wing
Get together, help each other out
Chorus 2
Keep the faith - this will not last forever
Keep the faith - in love we will succeed
Keep the faith - but we gotta pull together
Hope and community is what we need
Bridge
There's people out there scraping by on next to nothing
They may not share your political views
They need a future, they don't need discussions
There road to freedom needs a little help from you
Chorus 3
Keep the faith - this will not last forever
Keep the faith - with love we will succeed
Keep the faith - but we must pull together
Hope and community is what we need
Chorus 4
Keep the faith - this will not last forever
Keep the faith - and you know we will succeed
Keep the faith - but we got to stick together
Hope and community is what we need
Hope and community is what we need
Hope and community is what we need
