I STILL BELIEVE



I've been in a cave

For forty days

Only a spark

To light my way

I want to give out

I want to give in

This is our crime

This is our sin

But I still believe

I still believe

Through the pain

And through the grief

Through the lies

And through the storms

Through the cries

And through the wars

I still believe



Flat on my back

Out at sea

Hoping these waves

Don't cover me

I'm turned and tossed

Upon the waves

When the darkness comes

I feel the grave

But I still believe

I still believe

Through the cold and through the heat

through the rain

And through the tears

Through the crowds

And through the cheers

I still believe



I'll march this road

I'll climb this hill

Upon my knees If I have to

I'll take my place

Upon this stage

I'll wait till the end of time

For You

For people like us

In places like this

We need all the hope

That we can get

I still believe

I still believe

Through the shame

And through the grief

Through the heartache

And through the tears

Through the waiting

And through the years

I still believe
