Faithful One
by: Lili HaydnThere's no greater pain, the only thing I know
There's no great pain than to lose your little girl
She walks alone in midnight hour
Her baby's gone to a higher power
Her faith is strong, her heart betroved
Her song intones the myth of job
There's no great pain, baby's gone away
She offered me her heart, no end to her sorrow
Where is God oh faithful one
In struggle lies evolution
Where is God oh faithful one
