🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 'Cause I gotta have faith
  • I gotta have faith
  • Because I got to have faith, faith
  • I got to have faith, faith, faith

Echo the hook

  • Before this river becomes an ocean
  • Before you throw my heart back on the floor
  • Oh baby, I've reconsidered my foolish notion
  • Well, I need someone to hold me
