Down to the border and over the sea,
Little joe runs for his need to be free
See he took a man down in cold, cold blood.
He hit him harder than he probably should.

Says to himself, 'man look what I have done.
I didn't pull no trigger and there was never no gun,
I didn't mean to kill the guy he was just standing there,
He shouldn't bring a battle if he's unprepared'.

Cos he's been down
For far too long
He's surely paid
For what he's done
And now he tries
To carry on.

And it's a hard old rain
That's coming joe's way;
Same old routine repeating day after day.
See he can't go back and he can never move on
Until he's been forgiven for what he's done.

Cos he's been down
For far too long
He's surely paid
For what he's done
And now he tries
To carry on.

So have a little more faith,
Darling you know there ain't no shame or disgrace.
Come on now have just a little more faith,
Have a little faith.

Little joe says 'lord I wanna go home
I know longer wish to be roaming alone.
See I miss my girl far too much,
The scent of a woman and her tender touch'.

Cos he's been down
For far too long
He's surely paid
For what he's done
And now he tries
To carry on.

So have a little more faith,
Darling you know there ain't no shame or disgrace.
Come on now have just a little more faith,
Have a little faith.

Lord give me something to hold on to
Like hope on a rope or a picture of you.
'cos I've been judge and executioner too,
I need to find my way back to you.

So have a little more faith,
Darling you know there ain't no shame or disgrace.
Come on now have just a little more faith,
Have a little faith.

So have a little more faith,
Darling you know there ain't no shame or disgrace.
Come on now have just a little more faith,
Have a little faith.
