albüme ismini veren, faith şarkısının sözleri de şu şekildedir;

well i guess it would be nice
if i could touch your body
i know not everybody
has gotta body like me
but i gotta think twice
before i give my heart away
and i know all the games you play
because i play them too

oh, but i need some time off
from that emotion
time to pick my heart up off the floor

when that love comes down
without devotion
well it takes a strong man baby
but i'm showin' you that door

cuz i gotta have faith
gotta have faith - 3x

baby, i know you're askin' me to stay
say please, please, please don't go away
cuz you're givin' me the blues

baby, you mean every word you say
can't help but think of yesterday
and another who tied me down to lover boy blues

before this river becomes an ocean
before you pick my heart up off the floor
when our love comes down
without devotion
well it takes a strong man baby
but i'm showing you that door

i gotta have faith
gotta have faith (3x)

get the fuck up!
i gotta have faith
faith - 2x

am i a freak in the darkness
who am i a misfit
you speak with opinions
to seek in so deep
but it's alright
well your just an allusion
confused by your narrow mind
reality is up ahead in the distance
but that lack of persistence has left you behind
now you're reaching for your sanity
cause you're afraid of me, so don't fuck with me
you wanna ask me a question, well i got a question
how much longer can i tolerate this shit
ego's trip when you're livin' on the flip side
drop out of a uterus, and god damn i see ya pointin' your finga
you stereotype me, cause you don't like me
well you don't even know me, punk
you don't know me

bu şarkı daha sonralarında amerikan nu-metal müzik grubu limp bizkit tarafından da ilk albümleri için, 1997 yılında, yeniden yorumlanacak ve onlara da doksanların ortalarından bu yana bekledikleri ivmeyi kazandıracaktır.
