Lyrics

I Believe Laurie Dameron

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 believer in majestic mountains - in 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


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.

Chorus
