I never had a friend like you
This is the day
Your skin is white, your eyes are blue
This is the day

But the wind might change
I will still remain
I will always be there for you

A-ha

Those thoughts, they circle in my mind
This is the day
The demons I can't leave behind
This is the day

Don't be insecure
I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you

Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Stay safe!
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Stay safe!
Stay safe!

Par forth thy grace into my mind
This is the day
Par forth thy grace, thou art divine
This is the day

Don't be insecure
I'll be at your door
I will always be there for you

Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Stay safe!
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Stay safe!
Stay safe!

But the wind might change
I will still remain
I will still be here

But the wind might change
I will still remain
I will always be there for you

Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Stay safe!
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Faith will save you
Stay safe!
Stay safe!

AI: "The song is about finding faith and hope in God, who loves us and is always there for us. The lyrics you quoted are part of the chorus, which repeats the phrase “this is the day” to emphasize the importance of living in the present and trusting in God’s grace. The phrase “par forth thy grace” is not a common expression in English, but it seems to be a poetic way of saying “show your grace” or “give your grace”. Grace is a theological term that means God’s unmerited favor and love for humanity. The singer is asking God to pour forth his grace into her mind, meaning to fill her with his wisdom, peace, and joy. She also acknowledges that God is divine, meaning he is the supreme being and the source of all goodness."

For Delores:

I am a limerick of a poet nodding in a pub, a distant drumbeat of a Tsa-La-Gi ghost dance. I am that movement in the corner of your eye. I am a reoccurring dream. I am the shade of civilization. I am the pulse in a dancer's feet. I am a caller of storms. I am a reader of signs. I am the sound of grasshoppers singing in the summer's field. I am what darkness hides. I am a source of symbols. I am the war orphan reading an advertisement for cellular phone plans. I am on the tip of your tongue. I am the lover you think of from time to time. I am the veteran holding a sign at the corner. I am royalty feasting at a table set for others. I am what's left of a bird's shadow. I am the thief's appetite.

THANK YOU for not playing the same old 4 Cranberries songs every other streaming station plays.  Their lesser known hits are a treat.

Never heard this before.  It's not breaking any moulds, but a pretty decent energetic bit of indie rock - a 7 from me.

I agree... at first I thought it was a "Zombie" remix.

For real,it's not to bad. As a matter of fact until I heard the identifying warble in the singers voice I was afraid it was Sinead OConner and I was gonna have to give her a decent rating. Thankfully all is right in the universe and that does not have to happen again. The last time was painful enough.

It's such a shame to rate this song as much as Motisyahu (or whatever)

Hmmmm. Sounds a lot like their song "Zombie." And I didn't like that one much either.
