Faith And Belief
Story
It's about remembering how we became who we are. Maybe you have to hold on and let go at the same time.
Lyrics
We were falling up the cliffWe found each other’s hand
Too far from solitude
Too young to understand
There was love, oh there was love
We had faith in our innocence
The moon was shining and the river sang
Her whispers drifted like a fragrance
She told me I could be anything
And I believed, oh I believed
She told me to have faith
And I believed
Ever since I learned to read
I lost sight of the difference
Between fiction and fact
When the masters wrote their gospel
And there were stars, and there was space
We had faith in the journey
On the way we’d make the world a better place
And only fire could get us there
They told me we’d have spaceships
And I believed, oh I believed
They said no hunger or disease
And I believed
Some folks do the very least
That gets them through the day
Some ride on past success
Most pull their own weight
And there’s so much frustration
And the reward for hard work
Is harder work, but you can’t
Find all the answers in a book
They say work hard and get your reward
And I believed, yeah I believed
They say you’ll be ready when the time comes
And I believe
Dreams turn out a little differently
Love isn’t just a storybook
The children become the parents
Religion isn’t what it used to be
But there was music, there was music
We had faith in our harmony
Even when the stars fall down
The chosen will still be singing
They tell me there’s more after life
I don’t have faith, but I believe
We tell each other someone bigger loves us
I don’t have faith but I believe
I don’t even know what I believe in
But I have faith that it’s real
