Leap Of Faith

Delbert McClinton · One Of The Fortunate Few [1997]

After my baby quit me

I wouldn't even go outside

And when my friends tried to fix me up

I'd crawl up underneath the bed and hide



I knew I was never gonna change my luck

Till I got my courage up enough to try

And when I went ahead and spread my wings

I found out I could fly



Sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith, oh yes it is baby

Baby sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith



I had no way of knowin'

What would come from our first kiss

It scares me now just to think about

The good love I might have missed



Now I was just tryin' to find some help

I was tryin' to see myself as a survivor

I had to rise on up on the ashes of love

And jump back into the fire



Sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith, I know you know it baby

Baby sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith



Sometimes you've got to believe

Before you see the proof

You can wait a lifetime for a moment of truth

Sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith



Sometimes you've got to believe before you see the proof

You can wait a lifetime for a moment of truth



Sometimes all it takes, baby sometimes all it takes

Sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith, oh yeah
