When the road gets dark 
And you can no longer see 
Just let my love throw a spark 
And have a little faith in me 

And when the tears you cry 
Are all you can believe 
Just give these loving arms a try 
And have a little faith in me 
And 

[Chorus]
Have a little faith in me 
Have a little faith in me 
Have a little faith in me 
Have a little faith in me 

When your secret heart 
Cannot speak so easily 
Come here darlin' 
From a whisper start 
To have a little faith in me 

And when your back's against the wall 
Just turn around and you will see 
I will catch, I will catch your fall baby 
Just have a little faith in me 

[Chorus]
