The Lesser Faith

Dreamt up a new word today

In my ignorance I gave it meaning

Who was I to know?

To say it is to know it

To hear it is to believe, is to believe

I dreamt the world would end

I was not wrong to doubt, to discredit

The other words I've heard before

From inside a shell, pretending

It's all you've shown your faith

And what you've always known

So lay your trust in the unthinkable

It's time to justify your lesser faith

It's all your faith has shown

And all you'll ever know

Why do you matter? You're insignificant

How can you justify your lesser faith?

To know it is to fear it

To feel it is to say no, is to say no

To the blazing highs and lows

I know I'll fail to break, to cast it down

You take your lead

From the staff that must be broken in two

It's all your faith has shown

And all you'll ever know

Why do you matter? You're insignificant

How can you justify your lesser faith?
