lyrics

I Believe    Laurie Dameron copyright 1996

intro:

A    Gb-11    A    Gb-11    A    E     Gb-11

                                   
Well it occurred to me this morning as I prayed for love  
         
that it’s hard to believe in anything 

Today the world just moves so fast we’ve got no time to sing 

    
Computer addiction too much work and too much greed 

No time to even think 

Mobile phones distracting from our feelings our presence on the brink 


     What do we believe in – is there something more precious than gold? 

     What do we believe in – is there something in our hearts that we hold? 


Uncaring corporations flaunting power and might 

What’s in their way they just erase 
                     
Raping rain forest destroying life we can never replace  
 
If we could see it with our eyes I’m sure we’d feel it with our hearts 
 
There’s a stranglehold on the earth 

All we need to do is believe and figure out what it’s worth 

        What do we believe in – have the money gods taken our souls 
 
      I don’t know about a lot of things but some things I just know… 
 
Chorus: 
   
I believe in something greater – I believe in love 
   
I believe in all of nature – in something beyond and above 
   
I believe in majestic mountains –and deserts and extraordinary things 

And I believe in everybody – sometimes I even hear the angels sing 



Bridge: 
     There’s no words to describe the aching in my soul 
 
     I don’t comprehend uncaring posture the feeling is just so cold 
 
     Why the lack of gratitude for the vast and beautiful sky 

     Without the breath of precious air we wouldn’t even be alive 
 
break   E   E F Gb-7 D A    E   E F Gb-7 D     A Gb-11 A Gb-11

I awake and feel the beauty of a white lacy frost 
       
And my spirit begins to lift 

Depression’s hard to fight but when it’s absent life is such a gift 
 
I see the sun shimmer on some new green leaves 

What would life be like without trees 

Embrace the earth and care about each other I’m begging you please. 

 
     What do we believe in do we believe that we’re just victims of fate 

     Decide what you believe in strong faith has a lot of weight.

Chorus
