Faith Is Hard
(words & music by Markus Rill)



She’s hoping this one can be trusted
So she allows her deams to fly
She’s seen her bubble getting busted
But this one’s not that kind of guy

Her uncle used to tell her it was alright
“Just don’t tell anyone”
he would sneak into her room at night
have his way and have his fun

Faith is hard to come by
In a world that’s full of lies
It doesn’t matter just how hard you strive and try
The world will leave you cryin’
Faith is hard to come by

At age 19, she gave her wedding vow
And her heart was filled with joy
The boy got drunk, lost his temper every then and now
She lost her unborn baby boy

Trust is hard to come by
In a world that’s full of lies
It doesn’t matter just how hard you strive and try
The world will leave you cryin’
Faith is hard to come by

Now she’s thinking this one, he might go behind her back
So behind his back she’s snooping around
She don’t like to have to cover up her tracks
She don’t like what she’s found

Faith is hard to come by
In a world full of pain and lies
It doesn’t matter just how hard you strive and try
The world will leave you cryin’
Faith is hard to come by

Love is hard to find
Faith is hard to come by
