lyrics

If I have faith, if I am wise
If I can wait and open my eyes
I won’t steal and I don’t lie
You can own a hundred houses but there’s nowhere you can hide
And nothing else is holy now everything’s for sale

But I will be free

If I forgive, if I don’t mind
If I can give, if I take my time
I can hope and I can smile
You can only hold the lifebuoy kicking for a while
And nothing else is holy when everything’s for sale

But I will be free

If I could see and realise
If I could feel a stillness inside
I won’t kill cos when I die
You can’t buy your soul back from the salesman in the sky
And nothing else is holy now everything’s for sale

But I will be, oh I will be so free
