Believe... by Aoife*
You there, can you hear me?
I've wrote a song,
To help you and me.
Trust me, oh believe me,
You are so brave,
Please don't be afraid.
Darling,
Let me hold you,
Take my hand,
We will find a way.
There's a light through the darkness,
There is hope where we might fall,
There is love, where there was hatred,
There is strength, gained from our pain,
Stand with me and together we will make it,
Through the storm, we will lose the rain.
Just believe me.... believe me.
Cry now, it's okay to feel.
The pain will fade,
You’re strong and you will heal.
Laugh now,
Rejoice with me,
For we can fight,
They can't steal our hearts.
We have the souls, of a struggling angel,
And the pain of a broken child.
But, with the strength of a mighty lion,
Fly with me, like an eagle fly.
There's a light through the darkness,
There is hope where we might fall,
There is love, where there was hatred,
There is strength, gained from our pain,
Stand with me and together we will make it,
Through the storm, we will lose the rain.
Just believe me.... believe me.
Just believe me.... believe me.
Together, I know we can make it,
Walk with me,
Through the stormy sea,
We have the strength of a mighty lion,
Fly with me, like an eagle free.
Darling, let me hold you,
take my hand, we will find a way
