Lyrics
Lyrics for "I Believe Again"
Been livin' in exile all these years
A stranger in my own house with a constant quiet fear
Waitin' for the new bad news, I didn't wanna hear...
Afraid to hope, afraid to change
Think I's afraid of everything but not now,
Yeah I'm better now.
CHORUS:
'Cause I believe again, think I can breathe again,
And bridge that empty space, 'tween what I want and where I am.
Yeah I believe again, I have a dream again.
And I won't give up, I won't back down,
I won't retreat, I won't turn around,
Yeah, my heart's wide open
And my arms are full of the love and the life I've found...
And I believe again.
I spent far too long in fog of fear and lies
Livin' not to care, only livin' not to die
Now I stare at the sky feelin' righteous, free and wild
'Cause I have hope and a heart that sings,
And I see how beautiful everything is now
Yeah, I see it now
CHORUS
I threw out all my anger
And I gave up all my fear
Left my past behind me
You know, my future
It starts right here
CHORUS
