Expression of Faith

I have walked on the high wire with no net to catch me
I have stood in the spotlight where each flaw could be seen
And I've anteed my faith to the mercy of strangers
When you ride on the big ride, you don't ride for free

If we're only brief candles, let's burn for a day
If we're only poor players, let's rush to the stage
And if we don't know the ending, let's begin anyway
It starts in your heart, an expression of faith
It starts in your heart, an expression of faith

Though the north wind is freezing and the thunderclouds gather
Still, we scatter the new seed, and we trust in the sun
And though this world is uncertain, we deliver our children
To life's great adventure and the promise of love

If we're only brief candles, let's burn for a day
If we're only poor players, let's rush to the stage
And if we don't know the ending, let's begin anyway
It starts in your heart (starts in your heart) an expression of faith
It starts in your heart (starts in your heart) an expression of faith

Some call it wisdom and some call it pain
To find out the truth, to discover its name
But when all that we know doesn't change anything
Expressions of faith (expressions of faith) are all that remain

If we're only brief candles, let's burn for a day
If we're only poor players, let's rush to the stage
And if we don't know the ending, let's begin anyway
It starts in your heart (starts in your heart), an expression of faith
It starts in your heart (start in your heart), an expression of faith
