by Raimer Rojas © 6/14/10 (song written as an inspiration song for teachers who received layoff notices, RIF, at PUSD in Spring 2010) 1) Hard times have a way of shaking one's foundation Causing you to question all your dreams All the sacrifices made and the choices you have stood for Could all of it be now in the forgotten past? (chorus) Rise in faith, there will be a new day coming And fresh light will shine the path you’re meant to see Rest from fear, though these setbacks test your calling Let the pieces fall where they were meant to be then you will see... 2) How could you have predicted the bind you find yourself in It looks as if there’s not a place for you You gave, you poured, your fought so that others would be thriving So why are you now left out in the cold? (bridge) * "Ask and it will be given unto you Seek and you will find Knock and the door will be opened unto you" In time you’ll find your way *Quote from the Bible, Mathew 7:7 ** Note: "RIF" is a layoff notice (Reduction in Force). In this song I changed the meaning of RIF to "Rise in Faith".
