Faith
George Michael · 1987
🎤 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
