Well
My my my

When you’re down and out
And you need some consolation
You just call on me
And I’ll be there to see you through
When indecision clouds your mind
Looking for a choice
And I won’t leave you far behind

I’ll be your source of inspiration (Yes, I will)
He said, have faith in me (Have faith in me)
The wind that will chase the clouds away
I’ll be right there

Play on it
Yeah

In a troubled world full of lies and variation
We need to know that there’s a light that shines our way
And lead us through the turmoil of dissention
And lift us up, help us to face another day

I’ll be your source of inspiration (Oh yes, that’s what you mean to me)
He said, have faith in me (Have faith, have faith in me)
The wind that will chase the clouds away (He’ll be the wind, chase the clouds away)
I’ll be right there (I’m gonna be right there for you)
I’ll be your source of inspiration
He said, have faith in me (He said it all)
The wind that will chase the clouds away (The winds chase the dark clouds away)
I’ll be right there (I will be right there, yes I will)

If you ever need a friend
One on whom you can depend
I will comfort you
Keep me in your heart and your soul
And if you ever don’t know where to go
Just call on me
And I’ll be sure to let you know
I’m your friend

I’ll be your source of inspiration (I am)
He said, have faith in me (About the size of a mustard seed)
The wind that will chase the clouds away
I’ll be right there

I’ll be your source of inspiration (I’ll be the one you can depend on)
He said, have faith in me (If you just believe and have faith in me)
The wind that will chase the clouds away (I’ll be the wind that’ll chase the dark clouds away)
I’ll be right there (Yes I will, yes I will now)
(Whenever you need me)

I’ll be your source of inspiration (Say it loud)
He said, have faith in me (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
The wind that will chase the clouds away
I’ll be right there

I’ll be your source of inspiration
{fade out}
He said, have faith in me (Faith about the size of a mustard seed)
The wind that will chase the clouds away
I’ll be right there (I’ll be there, I’ll be there)
