The Lyrics
A personal favorite from Roxy Music. The original is a lament that there's no afterlife ("More than this, you know there's nothing..."). My faith gives me a different answer. So here's may answer to the original lyric.
Don't know the original? You can find it on YouTube- http://youtu.be/UrtRYmJ9u_8

If eyes see, we are fine
It’s our own way of growing
Touching brings more to light
There’s no strain in our knowing
What’s seen is a friend
Tangibly learning
But unseen turns the tide
There’s hope, I’m affirming
Faith is this
I know there is something
Faith is this
More than one scene
Faith is this
There is something
Life is short, just a while
Less is known where we’re going
Deep in soil, dark as night
We all pray for some knowing
We cling to the world
We seek the certain
There’s a sweet by and by
Much more past the curtain
Faith is this
My hope, there is something
Faith is this
Dark has lost sting
Faith is this
Yes, there is something.
It’s our own way of growing
Touching brings more to light
There’s no strain in our knowing
What’s seen is a friend
Tangibly learning
But unseen turns the tide
There’s hope, I’m affirming
Faith is this
I know there is something
Faith is this
More than one scene
Faith is this
There is something
Life is short, just a while
Less is known where we’re going
Deep in soil, dark as night
We all pray for some knowing
We cling to the world
We seek the certain
There’s a sweet by and by
Much more past the curtain
Faith is this
My hope, there is something
Faith is this
Dark has lost sting
Faith is this
Yes, there is something.
