I believe there are some debts that we never can repay
I believe there are some words that you can never unsay
And I don't know a single soul who didn't get lost along the way
I believe in socks and gloves knit out out soft grey wool,
And that there's a place in heaven for those
Who teach in public school
And I know I get some things right,
But mostly I'm a fool
I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea,
And all these shoots and roots will become a tree
All I know is I can't help but see
All of this as so very holy
I believe in jars of jelly put up by careful hands
I believe most folks are doing abot the best they can
And I know there are some things that I will never understand
I believe there's healing in the sound of your voice,
And that a summer tomato is a cause to rejoice,
And that following a song was never really a choice
Never really
I believe in the ones I love and know I'll never see again,
I believe in the kindness of strangers and the comfort of old friends
And when I close my eyes to sleep at night it's good to say,
'Amen'
I believe that life's comprised of smiles and sniffles and tears
And in an old coat that still has another good year,
Ball I need is here
I believe in a good strong cup of ginger tea,
And all these shoots and roots will become a tree
All I know is I can't help but see
All of this as so very hold
I believe
