You ought to know by now Nobody’s coming to make a sound You take the fork to your mouth Have no shame Try to contain
What’s it like What’s it like When everybody says you ain’t trying
What’s it like What’s it like When everybody says you ain’t even trying
Oh, the faithful heart Is when we start With these trying things
Should have known better To ask for something You wouldn’t give You take the words from your mouth And nobody knows what the truth is
So what’s the point What’s the point When everybody else ain’t even trying What’s the point, what’s the point When everybody else ain’t even trying
Oh, the faithful heart Is when we start With these trying things
Oh, everybody's got their own part in their own play And I wish I could pour some salt on this tepid rain
But oh, the faithful heart Is when we start With these trying things
