When I need somebody to lead me by the hand
You help me find a higher plane, you help me understand
Help me find a sanctuary to keep my feelings save
And lead me through another day with undivided faith
Help me mama to spread the real faith...
Start with good intentions strictly for the lord
And see that wealth and luxury helps to spread the holy word
The lord hath given TV sets to get the message through
And all I want in lieu is a healthy cheque from you
Help me mama to spread the real faith
Tell the children the TV ain't save
So help me mama to spread the real faith
Don't you know we got the real faith
We already got the real faith.....
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do
Deviance and mortal sin bring anger from above
The eye of the lord saw me with a less than gilded dove
It's what those fools out there can't see that puts the blame on you
And mamma now don't prey for me this cheating live is through
Help me mama to spread the real faith
Tell the children the TV ain't save
So help me mama to spread the real faith
Don't you know we got the real faith
We already got the real faith.....
