Faith my eyes                       Words and music by Derek Webb
Capo 1st fret

Intro              
                    

                  /
As I survey the ground for ants
                          
Looking for a place to sit and read
                          /
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
                                                    
How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet 

And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
And the sound of my brother's laugh
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives 

        
But if I must go
                        
Things I trust will be better off without me
                
But I don't want to know
               
Life is better off   a   mystery

                                       
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
                                              
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
                                                 
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                                           
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes 

Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay 

But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing 

                                      
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
                                               
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
                                                 
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                                                 
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes 
                 
La-la-la’s

So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
And the ants are welcome company 

Repeat chorus
                
                                         
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
                                                
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes...
