Lyrics

but when the opportunity
collided with reality
she did not take the easy way
she followed the straight and narrow lane

she hung onto that which was good
inspite of the fact that she wasn't of the blood
the things from her past weren't gonna stop her cold
it was the precious present that she was laying hold

but you're Ruth-less
you NAG's are heartless
so Ruth-less

yes you're Ruth-less
you NAG's are heartless
so Ruth-less

she was talkin the walk and
she was walkin the talk
when the time came for action
you know she didn't balk
she was not resentful
she cherished what she had
what she had was forever
you know this ain't no fad

she made up her mind
she counted the cost
she didn't give in when
the other was lost
the other went home but
her commitment was real
when the temptation came
she sealed the deal

it was her faith
that kept her moving
toward those streets of gold

it was her faith
that kept her thoughts and actions
so decisive and bold

it was her faith
that kept her on the right path
leading to the fold

it was her faith
that kept her
her faith
reach out
take hold
