Keep My Faith
Ziggy Marley · Other Songs - Ziggy Marley
World's all changing
They trying to change us too
I might be going crazy
What am I to do
Keep my faith
Walls crumble around me
I'm not surprised
What could I do
When you took my rights
Keep my faith
Like forty days and forty nights
In this wilderness of life
I am tempted
Frustration stirs up strife
Oh no no
Keep my faith
Circle around the sun
The signs are in the skies
The day will come
After the night
Mama say
Keep my faith, what you gonna do
Daddy say Lord
Keep my faith
Jah Jah say now
Keep my faith
People say
Keep my faith
Nothing they can do
Keep my faith
I even could be blue
I keep my faith
Could be down in the trenches
Could be down in the trenches
Keep my faith
Could down on my last breath
Keep my faith
One more thing Jim
Walls crumble around me
I am not surprised
There's nothing I could do
When they took my rights but
What you say
Keep my faith
Jah Jah, Keep my faith
What you gonna do
Jah I Keep my faith
I'll Keep my faith
What you gonna do
Keep my faith
Keep My Faith
Ziggy Marley's 'Keep My Faith' stands as a testament to his enduring commitment to reggae and Rastafarian spirituality.

The song features Marley's signature vocal delivery, characterized by a steady, rhythmic flow that emphasizes themes of loyalty to one's beliefs amidst a changing world. As a staple in his discography, the recording reflects the broader movement of Jamaican music in the late 1980s and early 1990s, where artists frequently addressed the need for moral grounding and community resilience. The composition serves not only as a personal expression but also as an anthem for listeners seeking spiritual strength, reinforcing Marley's legacy as a voice for peace and faith.
