Saint Ferdinand

(album: Lauren Daigle - 2023)

They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am
They said the spirits are strong, but I got 'em to bend
Oh, life gave me lessons that I still question, oh
They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am

Oh-oh-oh, Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play
Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These streets may not look pretty
But I see angels walking in the city
Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Oh, no no

They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong
But I know there's a purpose in the struggle when it all goes wrong
Oh, 'cause I see smiles under streetlights instead of chaos in the night, oh-oh
They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong

Oh-oh-oh, Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play
Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These streets may not look pretty
But I see angels walking in the city
Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Oh, no no
You can't keep me away, hey, yeah

Maybe I (Maybe I) loved you (Loved you) more than you loved me
Maybe life (Maybe life) got a way (Got away) of bringing you to your knees

Saint Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds play
Saint Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These streets may not look pretty
But I see angels walking in the city
Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change, oh-oh

Saint Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away
Oh, no no
You can't keep me away, hey, yeah
