Where Is The Faith

I see so much in the world today,
And wish that most of it would go away.
I feel so sad as I watch them cry
I pray to God, or at least I try.
I feel as no one is listening,
I feel that happiness, no one will bring.
How do I know that someone’s out there
How do I know that anyone will care.
Where is that faith that others speak about,
Why can’t I have it instead of this doubt.
I want to believe that someone's been inside,
Living in my heart, every time that I’ve cried.
I want someone to love and reach out a hand,
I want someone to listen and just understand.
Where can I find faith and peace within,
Will it take the place that the sadness is in.
