| Okay, Faith Yes, I have faith but I’m not about to boast, it’s ‘tween me and God without need to post; if you ask if I believe, I’ll tell you whatever, and after not care if you berate me forever; I’ll even attempt to explain how I got here, when it comes to the truth I don’t have any fear, but the matter of faith is a very diff’rent beast, and no business of yours, no, not in the least; it may be a mustard seed, could be a mountain, it’s not easy to do, to measure a fountain, although I can say that it’s lasted this long, to guess at the future would only be wrong.
