With an act of faith, all the mountains would move

And the rain would stop all around

With an act of faith, all the dogs would stop barking

And we could move out of this town



Oh, the road up ahead would open up wide

We'd be the only ones at the line

With an act of faith

With an act of faith

With an act of faith

It'd be fine





With an act of faith, we could throw off the dust around

Leave the past way behind

We'd turn over those rocks and buy brand-new clean socks

And who knows what our shoes may soon find





All the birds in the trees would sing sweet harmony

And bring earthworms to eat on our way

With an act of faith

With an act of faith

With an act of faith

It's our day





Now I've heard what begins with an act of faith

Can bring about changes in life

Yeah, any bum on the street would stand up on his feet

And walk in direction of light

Yeah, up ahead I think I see some light!





We can bandage all the fences broken

Come together and shake hands like friends

With an act of faith

With an act of faith

With an act of faith

It begins

Right where this road used to end
