Faint Not

the problem's not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill
 we think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like 'come together be good willed'
 the gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more or so they say
 we ignore the claims
 o my soul, faint not, no
 faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
 in love
 it's not that we don't know or we're not shown the proof of poverty
 it's not that we don't have the tools to go to break this yoke of slavery
 we quit because it's not an easy fix and then forget that they are even there
 we forget to care
 o my soul, faint not, no
 faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
 in love
 where there is hatred, let me sow love
 where there is injury, let me pardon
 where there is darkness, let the Light come, come
 o my soul, faint not, no
 faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
 in love
 o my soul, faint not, no
 faint not | o my soul, keep up, up
 in love
 faint not
 faint not
